Boys soccer opens league with road win

The boys soccer squad posted a 6-0 win at Sweet Home in their first game of league play on Thursday, September 17. Sisters boasts a strong team, with lots of depth, and should be in the forefront of the running for the league championship again this season.

Jadon Bachtold got the Outlaws started with a goal that came just five minutes before the end of the first half. Sean Willitts dished the ball over to Bachtold up the middle for a seven-yard tap-in to the right side.

Sisters outshot the Huskies 19-2 in the first half and held a 1-0 advantage.

Malachy Sundstrom started the second-half scoring in the first minute. Malachy dribbled past a slew of defenders into the 18-yard box and knocked it in for the goal.

The Outlaws tacked on three additional goals within a five-minute time period. Sean Willitts scored off a header from a Sundstrom corner kick, Sundstrom stole the ball from the defense to score, and Bachtold rounded the left corner and slotted a pass back to Steen Johnson for a nice goal.

Sisters wrapped up their scoring effort with approximately 12 minutes left in the game. Sundstrom beat a defender on the left side, and assisted Johnson in his second goal of the night.

The Outlaws only allowed the Huskies two shots on goal the entire contest, controlled 90 percent of ball possession, and took 30 shots on goal.

"It was a great first win," said Coach Rob Jensen. "It was good to shake out the jitters and connect on some goals."

Jensen praised Bachtold and Sundstrom, who dominated the center of the field.

"Those guys controlled possession," said Jensen. "The other team rarely touched the ball in the center."

The Outlaws were to play at home against Elmira on Tuesday, September 22. Sisters will play two days later at Junction City, on Thursday.
