The Lady Outlaws posted
a big 15-3 win over Thurston
on Monday, March 19, and
two days later fell 22-11 to
Summit. They will take a
week off for spring break
and resume play with a
game at Marist on Thursday,
April 5.
In Monday’s match-
up against Thurston, the
Outlaws controlled the game
from the get-go, and won 15
of the 18 draw controls. At
the half, Sisters was on top
10-2.
Ten different players
scored for the Outlaws.
Olivia Hougham, Ellie and
Mia Cook, Sydney Head and
Kaylee Huber all recorded
two goals each. Skylar
Wilkins, Sophia Bianchi,
Mary Root, Pearl Gregg and
Mirjam Ehrler added one
goal apiece.
Mikila Lajko had 10 saves
in the goal.
“The defense did an
amazing job controlling
the midfield,” said Coach
Mikaela Trott. “They dou-
bled and tripled the ball
as it left the opponent’s
defense.”
Although they lost two
days later, the Outlaws
played an outstanding game
against the Storm, and tallied
an unprecedented 11 points
in the game.
“This game was perhaps
the best the Outlaws have
ever played,” said Trott.
“We actually worked the
ball really well. We have
never scored higher than four
points against Summit in
any game we’ve ever played
against them.”
The Outlaws didn’t have
a great start, and within
the first three minutes the
Storm had tallied four
goals.
“We really needed to
shake off our nerves and just
get to work,” said Trott.
Ellie Cook scored Sisters’
first goal of the game. Cook
was fed the ball as she made
a beautiful cut toward the
center and then shot low to
the right side of the goalie for
the score.
Mia Cook, Huber, and
Wilkins also scored a goal
and at the half the Outlaws
trailed 13-4.
Just prior to the end of the
first half, Sydney Head suf-
fered a concussion.
Trott said, “Sydney got
the concussion from a pass
that one of the Summit play-
ers had to a player who cut
into the middle of the eight-
meter fan. It wasn’t mali-
cious, but it was a huge loss

to our team to have one of
our best players go out of the
game.”
In the second half, the
Outlaws tacked on six more
goals.
Several players scored for
the Outlaws. Ellie Cook led
the scoring effort with four
goals, Mia Cook and Wilkins
scored two, and Huber and
Head scored one each. Mary
Root scored her goal on a
penalty and recorded Sisters’
one and only assist in the
game.
Trott said, “The best part
of the game was the team’s
communication and cohe-
sion. We were able to find
each other on the field. We
passed the ball beautifully
on transition, and when we
were on offense, we were
constantly moving, which in
the past has been an issue.
We’re looking forward to
our next match-up against
Summit. We feel like we
can really bring it and beat
them.”
On Monday, April 19,
the Lady Outlaws fell 2-8 to
Mountain View, and three
days later they only won one
match against Bend High.
Monday’s match was
against a very good 5A squad,
and Coach Crystal Tosello
was impressed with how well
her girls played. Sisters’ No.
1, No. 3, and No. 4 doubles
teams tallied wins in their
matches, and all three went to
match-breakers.
Hawley Harrer and Rylee
Weber, at No. 1, defeated
Kelsey Leighton and Moruya
Haney 2-6, 6-1, 10-5. Both
Harrer and Weber are athletic
and experienced tennis play-
ers. It took a while for them to
get into their rhythm, but once
they did, they were a force to
be reckoned with.
Mattie Mynatt and Sophia
Silva, at No. 3, defeated Maria
Larrenta and Felicia Hall 4-6,
6-3, 10-8. Mynatt’s great
serves and Silva’s aggressive
net game were instrumental in
their win.
At the No. 4 spot, Lola
Green and Hallie Schwartz
beat Savanna Caldentey and
Kailei Ouellette 6-7, 6-4, 10-5.
Green and Schwartz are both
new to tennis, but according to
Tosello they have some of the
best footwork on the team.
“They hustle to chase down
every ball,” said Tosello.
“They work well together and
are getting the hang of the
sport very quickly.”
The Outlaws were short
a couple of their key single
players, so some new fresh-
men were able to step in at
the No. 3 and No 4 singles
positions.
“Shelby McCauley and
Katie Springer had awe-
some attitudes and won some
games, even though they had
never played singles before,”
said Tosello.
Three days later, the
Outlaws posted only one win
in their match against Bend
High.
“Bend is a very good
team and we were missing
a few of our top singles and
doubles players, so we were
not surprised by the loss,”
said Tosello. “The Sisters
girls were fearless and had a
great attitudes throughout the
match. The match helped us
learn that we need to work
on serves and taking balls on
the rise, which I’m excited to
work on at our next practice.”
The Sisters girls
were fearless and
had a great attitudes...
— Coach Crystal Tosello
Rylee Weber, in her first
appearance at No. 1 singles,
defeated Susie Garcia 6-3,
6-1, and was the lone win for
the Lady Outlaws.
Tosello said, “Rylee was
more consistent than her
opponent, and didn’t let the
challenge of playing singles
intimidate her. Her backhands
were awesome, and she hit the
ball as hard as any girl on the
Bend team.”
The Lady Outlaws’ next
match will be on Tuesday,
April 3, at Madras. On
Thursday, two days later,
they will play at home against
Corbett.
