SPORTS THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2016 7A Valiants Fishermen hold off Valiants top Gull netters By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — Fourth- ranked Valley Catholic defeated Seaside in three games at the Gulls’ Nest, 25-12, 26-24, 25-20, in a Cowapa League volleyball match Tuesday. Valley’s Regan Dean went on a seven-point serving run to close out the irst set. Seaside came back strong in Game 2 and led 23-19. A sideout by the Valiants, followed by a Seaside hit- ting error, a Valley ace and another Seaside hitting error, tied the game at 23-23. Both teams battled hard in a long rally, ending in a kill by Seaside’s Maddi Utti to put Seaside up, 24-23. But a kill by Dean on the outside tied it at 24-24, and the Valiants scored the next two points on a Seaside hit- ting error and another kill from Dean. Utti led the Gulls with 14 kills, while Alyssia Gonza- les had ive. Jetta Ideue in- ished with 13 digs and was 100 percent from the service line for Seaside. Tillamook sweeps in three close games WARRENTON — The Val- ley Catholic and Astoria boys soccer teams played the irst 61 minutes without a score Tues- day, in a Cowapa League con- test at Volunteer Field. The inal 19 minutes, how- ever, were another story. Valley Catholic and Astoria combined for ive goals in the last half of the second half, with the Fishermen holding a one- goal edge to open the league season with a 3-2 victory. Valley Catholic had just two shots on goal over the inal 40 minutes — three if you count their irst, which happened to go in their own goal. Early in the 61st minute, Astoria’s Trevor Byrd dribbled a ball into the Valley Catholic box, carried it along the end line, then sent a short crossing pass in front of the net, where Valley Catholic’s Tommy Melillo acci- dentally one-touched the ball into the net for the game’s irst goal. Astoria had 11 shots on goal (including two off the crossbar) to Valley’s two shots in the irst half. The Fishermen had another seven shots on goal in the sec- ond half before they scored their second goal, the irst off their own foot. Jorge Herrejon chased down a pass from Aldo Cruz for a breakaway, and Herrejon beat a Valiant defender and the Valley Catholic goalkeeper to the ball, scoring at the 65:50 mark for a 2-nil lead. Just under two minutes later, at 67:40, Valley Catholic’s Noah Olson launched a free kick from Astoria’s Jorge Herre- jon sprints up field with the ball, past Valley Cath- olic defender Quinn Schro- eder.

Astoria responded with its best play of the night at the 69:20 mark, when Herrejon made a run up the center, sent a pass ahead to Byrd, who scored on a well-placed ball into the right side of the net for a 3-1 lead. Not quite done with the scor- ing, the Valiants tacked on their second goal on a defensive breakdown by the Fishermen, as Jake Saito scored into an open net from the right side, at the 71:15 mark. Astoria had two corner kicks in the inal eight minutes, and kept the ball away from the Val- iants to escape with the win. The Fishermen (1-0 in league) square off with defend- ing league champion Seaside in a Clatsop Clash showdown Thursday at Broadway Field. “We totally dominated play tonight — passing, moving the ball and possessing the ball,” said Astoria coach Lee Cain. “We just need to work on in- ishing. We’re playing good soc- cer — we’re just making a few mistakes here and there that we need to correct. “We made some mistakes tonight, but it was nice to come away with the win,” he said. “We will be tested a lot more at Seaside, against their speed.” Jeff Ter Har/For the Daily Astorian Seaside’s Will Garvin, No. 13, and Rafi Sibony, right, close in on the ball in the closing minutes of Tuesday’s soccer game at Broadway Field. Indians, Seagulls battle to 1-1 draw The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — Seaside coach John Chapman said of the Scappoose Indians before the season, “They seem to come here and have our number.” Apparently the Indi- ans still have that number, as Scappoose managed a 1-1 tie with the defending Cowapa League champions Tuesday at Broadway Field. “We tip our hats to Scap- poose,” Chapman said. “They always play us tough here.” Still, the Gulls domi- nated play, and took a 1-0 lead with 20 minutes left on a goal by Colton Carter. But the Indians responded, scoring with just ive minutes remaining to force the tie. “Three years ago, we would have been happy with a draw against Scappoose,” Chapman said. “But our boys weren’t happy tonight. Hats off to Scappoose.” HIRING EVENT! Meet the managers, apply for a job!

Tillamook — currently the No. 2-ranked team in the state at the Class 4A level — improved to 7-1 overall and 2-0 in league with a hard- earned, three-game sweep over Astoria, 25-23, 29-27, 25-22. Still, “we played so good,” said Astoria coach Jessie Todd. “I was really proud of the way we played — we battled, played with heart and never gave up.” The Lady Fishermen even held brief leads in the irst two games, before Tilla- mook rallied for wins. Jacqueline Jarrett led Astoria with nine kills and six blocks, while Chelsea Christensen and Kes Sand- strom had ive kills apiece. “Tillamook is a very strong team,” Todd said. “They’ve got some tall girls, and they’re very solid, good hitters. I thought our block coverage was good tonight.” Soccer: Astoria, Seaside girls go down to defeat The Daily Astorian Clatsop County’s two girls soccer teams suffered a pair of lopsided defeats Tuesday on the road.
