Roundup: Lady Celts start season with win
McNary’s girls soccer team
defeated Woodburn 1-0 on
Tuesday, Aug. 29 to begin the
2017 campaign.
Head coach A.J. Nash said
the Lady Celts controlled the
majority of the possession in
the opening half, but struggled
to fi nish against a well-orga-
nized and disciplined Wood-
burn defense.
McNary was fl agged nine
times for off-sides in the
fi rst half due to a disciplined
Woodburn backline.
In the 25th minute ju-
nior Katy Wyatt connected
with a header from a corner
kick driven to the back post
by junior Gina Munguia that
glanced off the top of the cross
bar.
Just three minutes later,
strong pressure by sophomore
forward Haley Hughes created
a turnover deep in the Wood-
burn end that was gathered by
junior Abigail Hawley who
served the ball across the box
to Katy Wyatt for the fi nish
and the Lady Celts took a 1-0
lead into the half.
In the second half, Nash
said McNary kept up great
team pressure, and again con-
trolled the majority of the
possession.
In the 55th minute, sopho-
more Julie Dieker had a strong
header off a corner kick from
Gina Munguia that forced
a save from the Woodburn
keeper.
The Bulldogs threatened
on a few counter attacks, but
the McNary defense was up to
the challenge.
The Celts frontline forced
a couple great saves by the
Woodburn keeper who kept
the scoreline close, and Mc-
Nary held onto the win.
“Both teams kept great in-
tensity for the entire 80 min-
utes and battled up to the fi nal
whistle,” Nash said.
The Lady Celts play at San-
dy on Tuesday, Sept. 5 in an-
other non-league match.

To prepare for the season
opener, the Celtics partici-
pated in a jamboree at Marist
on Friday, Aug. 25. McNary
ran 12 plays on offense and
defense against Canby, the
host Spartans and then Cor-
vallis.
After a slow start, Auvinen

thought McNary improved
with each scrimmage.
“We got better as the day
progressed,” he said. “First
game, especially on defense we
weren’t very good. I think we
were used to playing ourselves
so we needed to fi nd another
gear and get a little more of
a killer instinct. Against Canby,
we were feeling our way and
getting used to varsity game
speed. Marist, we were better
and then even better against
Corvallis.”
This Friday’s home game
against North Salem kicks off
at 7 p.m.
McNary senior Jakoby
Doke guaranteed the Celtics
will be ready.
“It’s just a matter of walk-
ing in there and thinking
any team can win any game,”
Doke said. “No game is given
to you. We just have to play as
hard as we can just like any
other game.”
