Boys soccer pushes league record to 5-0

The Outlaws boys soccer team knocked off their league foes last week to push their league record to a perfect 5-0. Sisters blanked the Junction City Tigers 2-0 on Tuesday, September 27, and two days later tallied a 1-0 victory at Cottage Grove.

In Tuesday's shutout over the Tigers, Sisters recorded 31 shots on goal, but just weren't able to find the net. JC only tallied seven shots on goal.

Malachy Sundstrom scored in the eighth minute after he turned at the top of the 18 and blasted a shot past the keeper for the goal. Sundstrom scored again in the 26th minute when he dribbled from the top of the offensive third past multiple defenders for a shot past the goalie.

In Thursday's win, the Outlaws scored their lone goal off a free-kick play. The ball played to Asher Bachtold at the top of the 18. Bachtold flicked it up over the defense to Alec Gannon for the tap-in goal.

Ryan Funk had some key saves in the box for the Outlaws, and Keegan Greaney and Minam Cravens thwarted the Lions' offense all night.

Coach Rob Jensen told The Nugget that Bachtold played tough all night, in spite of an extremely sore back.

Sisters had five or six great opportunities that just didn't go in. The win was a great road victory that gave the Outlaws the first-half sweep of the Sky-Em.

The Outlaws are 5-0 in league play, and are 7-2 overall. The Outlaws will play at home against Sutherlin on Thursday, October 6.
