In the second half, Aspen scored on another corner kick when Erin Spence headed the ball into CRMS net.
Lindzhi Douglass added Aspen’s final goal.
“That was a well-struck shot,” Gillies said of Douglass’ score.
The Skiers improved to 3-3-1 with Thursday’s victory.
“We dominated the game,” Gillies said. “The defense was organized.
“Overall, it was a good victory for us,” the Aspen head coach said.
The Skiers will break for a week of experiential eduction next week.
