SPORTS MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2019 THE OBSERVER — 9A Ronald Bond/Observer fi le photo Morgan Farrington, left, scored two goals, including the winner in the second overtime, Friday afternoon. Farrington’s late goal lifts Eastern Observer staff Morgan Farrington scored a pair of goals — one fi ve minutes into the match and one to end it with just more than eight minutes remaining — and the No. 11 Eastern Oregon women’s soccer team secured a 2-1 double overtime win at Rocky Mountain College Friday in Cascade Collegiate Conference play in Billings, Montana. Farrington’s sixth goal gave the Mountaineers the early lead, and her team- leading seventh in the second extra session off a pass from Mackinley Gregus gave EOU the win in a game it won despite not having two of its regular starters, Nan Kiebert and Josee Bassett. The early lead held until Lauryn Gamache scored for Rocky Mountain in the 42nd minute. EOU won despite being outshot 17-12. Cydni Cottrell recorded six saves, including stopping two would-be game winners in the fi rst overtime session. The Mountaineers (9-1-2 overall, 6-1-1 CCC) host CCC-leading Northwest (Washington) Friday. EOU MEN FALL FRIDAY, WIN SUNDAY Eastern Oregon scored in less than a minute and led at halftime, but the second half belonged to Rocky Moun- tain College, which scored the fi nal four goals for a 4-1 win over the Mountaineers Friday in Cascade Collegiate Conference play in Billings, Montana. Elvis Pavon gave EOU the lead just 42 seconds into the match, and the margin held until early in the second half, when the Battlin’ Bears scored twice in 3-0 seconds and three goals in less than four minutes to take a 3-1 lead. Pablo Ferreira assisted two of the goals and scored the middle goal that gave RMC the lead for good. EOU goalkeeper Max Rose had three saves, two of which came in the fi rst half to keep EOU ahead. On Sunday, the Moun- taineers ended a four-match losing streak with a 6-0 road win over Walla Walla. Eastern needed less than nine minutes to get on the board, taking the early lead on a goal by Erik Mattice, then broke the game open with two goals in the fi nal 65 seconds of the fi rst half, as Joaquin Bermejillo and Felipe Madero scored to push the margin to 3-0 at the half. Javier Moran added two second-half goals around a Calvin Mitchell goal for the fi nal margin. Eastern blistered Walla Walla with 36 shots, includ- ing 19 on goal. Max Rose turned away the only shot attempt managed by the Wolves. EOU (5-8-1 overall, 3-6 CCC) hosts Northwest (Washington) Friday. PLAY OUR CONTEST AND WIN!
