Lady Celts open at home with 5-1 win
By DEREK WILEY

Behind a strong first half,
McNary defeated Central 5-1
Tuesday, Sept. 6 in its home
opener.
The Lady Celtics scored
their first goal seven minutes
in when Kateyln Tallon head-
ed in a corner kick from Isa-
bella Heath.
“I was trying to get it to
the far post so someone could
head it in,” Heath said. “This
is my first year taking corner
kicks and it’s going good so
far.”
Anita Lao then finished a
cross from Kayla Evans to give
MHS a quick 2-0 lead. Abigail
Hawley scored an unassisted
goal in the 31st minute.
With eight minutes re-
maining in the first half, Ju-
lie Dieker had the Lady Celts
most unique goal of the night,
firing a shot off the post,
which then hit her face and
went past the keeper and into
the net.
Central scored the first
goal of the second half to get
within 4-1 with 35 minutes
remaining.
While McNary continued
to control possession, the Lady
Celtics couldn’t finish, hitting
the post and kicking the ball
directly at the keeper or over
the goal.
“We could have finished so
many more goals,” Heath said.
With just two minutes left
to play, Gina Munguia scored
the Lady Celtics only goal of
the second half on a free kick
from about 25 yards out.
“We started well and we
came out a little flat in the sec-
ond half,” McNary coach AJ
Nash said. “We still have some
stuff to work on. We did beat
up the post. It was actually just
the final touch. We had 10 to
12 clear opportunities to fin-
ish in the second half and you
saw them go just over the bar
or just on the outside. We’ll
work on finishing but part of
that is focus and technique. As
a young team, it doesn’t sur-
prise me. We can’t let those
opportunities go to waste.”
MHS also defeated Eagle
Point 5-1 Thursday, Sept. 1.
“We’re working really hard
in practice and that’s obviously
showing,” Heath said.
With wins over Woodburn,
Eagle Point and now Cen-
tral, the Lady Celts are 3-0
but Nash knows the season is
young.
“We know the quality of
teams that we’ve played, the
way they finished last year in
the state, was towards the bot-
tom half,” he said. “These are
games we expected to win.
Overall, we’ve done the job
early.”

and then Sydney really hit the
ball well. We really played great
defense against them. I was
really pleased with that.”
Valerie Diede had four blocks
and four kills for the Lady Celts.
Shaylee Williams had five kills,
Samantha Van Voorhis had 24
assists and Jaylene Montano
added seven digs.
The match was McNary’s
first tough test after easily
defeating McKay to open the
season.
Myers liked how the Lady
Celts reacted, especially in tight
sets one and two.
“I thought we did a really
good job during what we call
red zone, once you hit inside
20 to 25, I thought we really
did, we stayed aggressive and
kept pressure on them,” he
said. “I was very pleased with
how the girls responded. It
was very good on their part.
They didn’t get down at any
time. Their enthusiasm stayed
up. The excitement stayed up
and they really stayed positive
and communicated extremely
well.”
McNary wasn’t as successful
