Lady Outlaws fall in tight contest

The Lady Outlaws played a very close game at Newport in the league opener, but lost the battle in a final score of 1-0. Two days later smoke was an issue, and the game was called at the half.

In Tuesday's match-up, the game was close from the get-go, and went back and forth from start to finish.

Newport scored on a deep throw-in and finished with a nice flick into the goal for the finish at the 20-minute mark.

The Outlaws outplayed the Cubs for the first 15 minutes of the game, and had several opportunities to score, but just couldn't finish.

At home on Thursday against Cascade, smoke was a problem. Despite concerns, teams started to play. At the half, the game was called due to the smoke, with the Cougars on top 2-0.

Coach Jaron Jacobsen said, "We're not sure if the game will count or not, but we played well. The smoke was an issue, and possibly even questionable that the game was played."

The Outlaws were to travel to Woodburn on Tuesday, September 11. Sisters will play at home against Philomath on Thursday.
