Girls lacrosse ends week with double-header

The Lady Outlaws lacrosse players had three big games this past week. The squad started with a 15-10 loss against Corvallis on Tuesday, April 14. Four days later, Sisters played at home in a double-header. The Outlaws fell 17-6 in their first game against West Salem and then lost 17-9 against Crescent Valley.

Sisters played a great game against Corvallis on Tuesday. The Spartans scored two quick goals at the onset and took a 2-0 lead.

With just over two and a half minutes off the clock, Langley Vogt answered back. Vogt got a fast break right off the draw, beat all defenders, and hit a shot into the upper-right corner of the net to tighten the game to 2-1.

Two minutes later, Marissa Young put a shot into the bottom-right of the goal with an assist from Jenny O'Connor. Marissa made a cut, and beat her defender to catch the pass and score.

Sisters scored three more goals in the first half; two from Vogt, and one from Katelyn Josten. One of Vogt's goals resulted from a great assist from Emily Ford. Ford was behind the goal on the left side, cut in, threaded the needle, and passed to Langley, who was next to her and open for the shot. Josten scored on a fast break up the left side.

The Outlaws finished the first half with five goals, but the Spartans were relentless, kept attacking the goal, and at the half held a 10-5 advantage.

Vogt scored Sisters' first two goals of the second half, and O'Connor scored with a little over nine minutes left on the clock.

The Outlaws scored their final two goals in the last three minutes of the game.

Corvallis scored five additional goals in the second half to record the win.

The Outlaws lost both their games on Saturday against stiff competition.

West Salem racked up 10 goals in the first half of the contest and Sisters was only able to put in two, both from Marissa Young. The Titans added seven goals in the second half, and Sisters had four.

Jenny O'Connor scored three of the Outlaws second-half goals, and Langley Vogt added one. O'Connor's final goal came close to the end of the game and was a beautiful shot in the upper-left pocket of the goal.

Sisters' game against the Raiders of Crescent Valley was just as tough. At the half the Outlaws were only down 8-6, but the Raiders stretched their lead in the second half to win by eight.

Bree Papworth played at goalie against West Salem, and Addy Baney played in goal against Crescent Valley. They both had nine total saves against 26 shots on goal for a 35-percent save-rate on each game.

The Lady Outlaws will play at home against Corvallis on Saturday, April 25.
