The Lady Outlaws
played a stellar game at
home against the Woodburn
Bulldogs on Thursday,
October 4, and came out on
top with a 2-1 victory. Two
days earlier it was a differ-
ent story, as Sisters took
a devastating 1-2 loss at
Cascade.
Woodburn struck first
in Thursday’s contest and
scored on a free kick at the
27-minute mark, and teams
battled back and forth in a
very physical game. At the
half the Bulldogs held a slim
1-0 advantage.
In the second half, the
Outlaws worked harder,
played faster, and tallied two
goals. The first came in the
60th minute from approxi-
mately 25 yards out. Gracen
Sundstrom blasted the ball
past the keeper on a perfect
free kick, and evened the
score 1-1.
Fifteen minutes later,
Sisters scored again on a
counterattack. The ball was
played up front to Hollie
Lewis, who beat several
Bulldog defenders and then
the goalie, and booted a left-
footed shot into the back
lower corner of the net for
the go-ahead goal.
The final five minutes of
the contest were a scramble,
but the Outlaws prevailed
and posted the win.
Coach Jaron Jacobsen
said, “We played tremen-
dous. Woodburn works the
ball well, and had some tal-
ented players, but our girls
played with grit and heart
tonight. The win was a team
effort, and they showed we
can play the best!”
Tuesday’s game against
the Cougars went a different
direction. In the 33rd minute
of play, Olivia Hougham,
thanks to an assist from
Hallie Schwartz, had a sweet
strike from about 25 yards
out that curled around the
goalies’ outstretched hands.
The Cougars scored
on a corner kick right
before the half to tie it up
at 1-1.
The Outlaws battled hard
and out-possessed Cascade
in the second half. They
had several opportunities to
score, but just couldn’t find
the back of the net.
Cascade scored with less
than five minutes on the
clock. A ball bounced around
the box, and finally found its
way into the back of the goal.
“It was such a heart-
breaking loss for the girls
today,” said Coach Jacobsen.
“They left everything on
the field. We played with
heart and passion today, and
I’m extremely proud of the
girls. We were the better
team today, but just came
up on the wrong side this
afternoon.”
Jacobsen added, “Hallie
(Schwartz) had a mon-
ster game for us, and Alexa
(Stewart) had a great game
in the back line for us, and
Olivia (Hougham) was our
workhorse.”
The Lady Outlaws will
travel to Philomath for a
game against the Warriors on
Wednesday, October 10.
The Lady Outlaws com-
peted along with 24 top teams
in the state at the Clearwater
Classic, held in Bend on
Saturday, October 6. Central
Catholic took first and Bend
High was runner-up. Sisters
finished eighth.
Sisters faced three tough
teams in morning pool play:
6A South Eugene (SE), 5A
Redmond, and 6A Central
Catholic (CC).
The Outlaws started their
day against South Eugene and
jumped to an early 12-2 lead.
SE struggled with Sisters’
strong serves and never found
a rhythm on offense. Kendra
Sitz, Greta Davis, and Sophie
and Sam Silva all had a great
offensive game. They all
provided a strong attack and
block at the net, and led the
Outlaws to a 25-14 win.
In the second set, SE found
their rhythm and it was a bat-
tle the entire way, with Sisters
prevailing 26-24.
From there, Sisters took
on Redmond, and cruised to
a 25-7, 25-8 victory, thanks to
strong serves that paved the
way.
Sisters wrapped up pool
play against 6A powerhouse
Central Catholic, who are
currently ranked No. 3 at the
6A level. Sisters battled hard
against the Rams and tied the
game at 12-12, before CC
went on a seven-point service
run. The Rams maintained
the lead and the Outlaws fell
18-25.
Set two was very similar,
and in the end Sisters took the
14-25 loss.
Unfortunately for the
Outlaws, they were matched
