Wednesday, October 18, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 9 Boys soccer blanks opponents By Rongi Yost Correspondent The boys soccer team blanked the Bulldogs 2-0 at Sutherlin on Tuesday, October 10, and two days later iced the Huskies 4-0 at home in Sisters. Sisters scored both their goals in the first half in their game against Sutherlin on Tuesday. Fifteen minutes into the contest, Colby Simeral assisted Skyler Larson on a slotted ball. Larson beat one defender on a cut-back and scored to the right side past the keeper. Ten minutes later, Larson assisted Simeral on a similar play. Sisters held a 2-0 advan- tage as teams wrapped up the first half. In the second half, the Bulldogs packed in the defense, and made it diffi- cult for the Outlaws to get shots on goal. Sisters held onto their lead, and kept the Bulldogs scoreless. Illness and injury were a factor for the Outlaws, as they were down six starters by the end of the game. Coach Rob Jensen noted Sam Nicklous in particular, who really stepped in to fill some roles, and played a very nice game. “Sam played really well with this teammates,” said Jensen. “He made good runs, was in the right place at the right time, and created chem- istry in the midfield.” Kinnon Rutherford, who usually plays at center back, played much of the game at holding midfield and also at attacking midfield. “I wasn’t getting a lot of action at center back, and so Coach Jensen moved me so I could get more time on the ball,” said Rutherford. “I usually don’t get a chance to score, so I really wanted to be able to get a goal. I didn’t get one in, but I did get close a couple of times.” Rutherford added, “Today we really got to work on our chemistry, getting good combos and crosses, and the defense getting a clean slate. The win was great because we didn’t get scored on, and it was a really competitive game in the midfield.” On Thursday, the Outlaws earned a 4-0 victory at home over the Huskies. Their first goal came on a ball that was slotted from the left side to the right chan- nel from Simeral to Asher Bachtold. Bachtold made an outstanding shot to the upper- right side of the net, past the SH keeper for the goal. Sisters kept possession of the ball, despite some miser- able weather. The Outlaws had several more great shots in the first half that just fell short of the goal. In the second half, the Outlaws came out strong. Simeral beat a defender on a ball, and scored a power- ful shot from 25 yards to the right side of the keeper. Bachtold recorded the assist.
