Lady Outlaws post soccer shut-out

The Lady Outlaws soccer squad defeated Siuslaw Monday, September 16, on the road in a final score of 2-0.

Devon Stevens got the Outlaws on the scoreboard in the 32nd minute of the game. A throw-in found Melia Jenkins in the middle of the field, and Jenkins passed the ball over to Stevens, who had made a run down the wing, and one-touched it for a goal over the keeper’s head into the back of the net. At the half Sisters was on top 1-0.

The Outlaws’ second goal came with approximately 15 minutes left on the clock. The play started when Zoee Bafford (defense) found Tallis Grummer in the midfield. Grummer passed it to Ella Davis, who was making a diagonal run toward the corner. Davis gained control of the ball and shot it from outside the 18 into the far left side netting for the score.

Coach Makena Zorza told The Nugget that although the Outlaws posted the win they struggled defensively in all positions on the field.

“We all held the ball too long and struggled with quick decision making,” said Zorza.

Kennedy Davis (goalie) was relatively untested throughout the match, but did have one beautiful save that she punched over the goal from a long shot.

The Outlaws were scheduled to play at home against Creswell on Tuesday, September 24. A home game against Santiam Christian was pushed to October 23.
