In the first half, the Clackamas offense controlled the ball 90% of the time. This unselfishness and confidence led to five goals in the first 45 minutes of the game. The Cougars’ first goal was scored by Freshman Forward Ashley Webster. Webster played a key role in the offensive surge in the first half, shooting on goal four times. Moments after Webster’s goal, Freshman Forward Vicki Rodríguez scored, with a nice move to elude the goalie and put the ball into the net. Rodríguez was far from finished; she followed up her first score with three more goals in the first half. Great ball movement by the Cougars helped them get the ball to where they wanted it on the field to set up goal scoring opportunities. “[We] worked well together as a team, and played off each other,” Freshman Mid-fielder Amanda Triller said. In the second half, the Cougars controlled the ball and allowed the Green River team very few shots on goal. Even though the defense wasn’t tested much throughout the game, they stayed on their toes. “We are a defensive oriented team, and a great offense is created from a great defense,” Nelson said. When the defense did get beat, goalkeeper Jessica Engmon was there to stop everything shot her way. “[Engmon] is a great goalie, she is mentally and physically ready for the ball,” Coach Nelson said. With this win the Cougars improved their overall record to a mind-boggling 13 wins, zero losses and one tie. The team will be at home on Thursday, Oct. 21 against Lower Columbia College; game time at 3 p.m. Photos by Jeff Sorenson Clackamas Print (TOP) Members of the Clackamas wreslting team get down toga style at last Saturday’s Cougar soccer game.
