Lady Outlaws beat the Falcons

The Lady Outlaws Soccer Team posted a 6-1 victory at home against the Elmira Falcons on Tuesday, September 24.

Ella Davis got the Outlaws’ scoring spree started 23 minutes into the contest. Mia Rosas sent a through ball from the Outlaws past the Falcon defense and found Davis, who finished it right past the keeper for the score.

The Falcons answered with a goal of their own two minutes later to tie it up at 1-1. Sisters scored in the 27th minute when Rosas again found space and crossed the ball to Deven Stevens, who one-touched it and sent the ball over the keeper’s head. The first half ended with Sisters on top 2-1.

Sisters came out of the half and immediately scored within the first minute. Melia Jenkins won the ball in the midfield and passed to Davis up top. The Falcon’s keeper came out in an attempt to beat Davis to the ball, but Davis scored on the ground into the right corner of the net. Davis scored a hat trick (third goal) off a penalty kick 11 minutes later after Jenkins was taken to the ground on the goal line by a Falcon’s defender. Twenty-two minutes into the final half the Falcon’s keeper saved a shot from Jenkins, and put the ball back into play. Tallis Grummer won the ball and found Jenkins, who took a touch wide, turned, and scored to give the Outlaws a 5-1 advantage.

Davis finished off the Outlaws’ scoring with three minutes left on the clock. She dribbled towards the end line from a ball that was played to her by the back line, and placed it just out of reach of the keeper on the ground.

Coach Makena Zorza said, “The whole team played very well together. They connected passes and connected runs. I would say this is probably some of the better soccer we’ve seen from the Lady Outlaws so far this season. Everyone kept the energy and intensity high, and played well together despite their increasing frustration due to the physicality of the game.”

Sisters was scheduled to play at home against Central Linn on Monday, September 30. They will play at home against Creswell on Thursday, October 3.
