Gaston rallies for
win at Knappa nets
The Daily Astorian
KNAPPA — It was
Senior Night with a lot on
the line Thursday at Knappa,
where the Lady Loggers
hosted Gaston, the Northwest
League’s irst place team.
And the Greyhounds had
to rally from a Game 1 loss
to win the next three, for a
24-26, 25-11, 25-22, 25-22
victory.
With just one senior on
its roster, Gaston improves to
9-0 in league, while Knappa
falls to 5-4.
Despite the loss, “I was
extremely happy with our
play tonight,” said Knappa
coach Jeff Kaul. “The girls
played one of their best
games of the season tonight.
As Paris (Vanderburg) said
during our post game huddle,
‘when we play like that, even
though we lost the match, it
felt like we were winners.’ I
agree with that statement 100
percent.”
Knappa opened with a 6-1
lead on its way to the Game
1 win. Gaston came back
strong in Game 2, winning
by 14 points.
Games 3 and 4 featured
multiple lead changes and
back and forth volleys, along
with some incredible saves
and digs, Kaul said, “with
blocks and hits from both
sides.”
Gaston relied on junior
middle blocker and hitter
Charity Hall to keep a step
ahead of the Loggers.
Jaden Miethe had 21 digs
to lead the Loggers, followed
by Alisha Murphy with 16
digs.
Kaitlyn Landwehr in-
ished another all-around
good night with 12 kills, 10
digs, six assists and three
blocks, in addition to 13-of-
13 serving.
Mack Strain had six kills,
Vanderburg inished with ive
assists, and Kaitlyn Truax
added 17 digs.

BEAVERTON — A
stronger second half attack
helped the Astoria boys soc-
cer team post a 2-0 Cowapa
League win at Valley Cath-
olic Thursday.
The Fishermen snapped
a 0-0 halftime tie early in
the second half, when Jose
Gonzales scored off a cross-
ing pass from Jorge Herre-
jon; and Herrejon scored on
a pass down the center of
the ield from Trevor Byrd
in the closing minutes to
secure the win.
“It’s the best game the
boys have played yet,” said
Astoria coach Lee Cain.
“Valley put up a good ight,
but we transitioned to a
stronger attack in the sec-
ond half, and made a vast
improvement.”

Two goals just six minutes
into the game set the tone for
the night, for the Valley Catho-
lic girls soccer team.
The No. 2-ranked Valiants
added two more goals for a 4-0
halftime lead, on their way to a
9-0 Cowapa League win over
Astoria Thursday night on a
rain-slickened CMH Field.
Valley Catholic improves to
6-0 in league play (7-3 overall),
while Astoria slips to 1-4-1 in
league.
The Valiants entered the
game carrying a six-game win
streak, having outscored those
last six opponents 32-1.
They can now make it 41-1,
as the offensive-minded Val-
iants dominated play, allow-
ing the Fishermen to cross mid-
ield only a handful of times in
each half. Astoria inished with
just two shots on goal for the
game, both free kicks by Jenna
Rudolph in the second half.
Valley Catholic scored its
irst goal just three minutes into
the game, when Callie Kawa-
guchi dribbled the ball across
the top of the penalty box, left
to right, and scored from 20
yards out.
Taylor Menkens scored on
a header at the 5:03 mark, off
a corner kick from Katelyn
Snook — the second of 10 cor-
ner kick opportunities for the
Valiants.
Chloe Brock scored on
a nicely-placed shot in the
15th minute; and following a
delected save, Menkens scored
her second goal with 10:18 left
in the irst half.
Brock and Menkens each
tacked on a goal in the sec-
ond half, while Kawaguchi
scored back-to-back goals in
a four-minute span midway
through the half, to inish with
the hat trick
Riley McGee scored off
another corner kick for Valley’s
inal goal of the night, with
12:07 left.
Sparked by good play from
Claire Albright and Ashlee Dal-
ton, the Astoria back line held
on and allowed just two corner
kicks in the second half, with
nice play in goal from Lexi
Law, who made saves on two
breakaways for the Valiants.

delected off the back of a Scap-
poose defender and into the net.
“We played a very well-bal-

and we played with a lot of
composure. We needed this one.
This was a must-have win.”
