Apr. 9—BOYNE CITY — Elk Rapids held off Boyne City 2-1 on the Ramblers' home field Thursday.

The Elks (1-0) topped the Ramblers a day after Boyne mercied Traverse City Central.

However, the Ramblers were without several players because of COVID-19 quarantines.

Elly Day opened up the scoring after a 0-0 halftime deadlock, giving Boyne a 1-0 advantage. The Elk rallied on goals by Kendall Standfest and Lauren Bingham. Standfest, whose goal came on a 30-yard direct kick, also picked up an assist on Bingham's goal.

Jorja Jenema made 15 saves for Elk Rapids, which hosts Traverse City West on Monday.
