C2 THE ASTORIAN • SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2019 Seaside downs Scappoose, 5-1 The Astorian Seaside’s Westin Carter had two goals and two assists in the Gulls’ 5-1 win Tuesday over Scappoose at Broadway Field. Gary Henley The Astorian In a battle between former Cowapa League rivals, Sea- side hammered Scappoose 5-1 in a nonleague boys soc- cer game Tuesday night at Broadway Field. The No. 4-ranked Gulls improved to 3-0, while the Class 5A Indians drop to 0-2. Westin Carter and Diego Angulo-Joli had two goals apiece for unbeaten Seaside, and Stephen Snyder added one. Carter and Dodger Holmstedt had two assists each, with another from Leif Dewinter. Seaside was putting pres- sure on Scappoose right from the start, with several attacks and shots. It didn’t take long before Westin Carter found the back of the net, midway through the fi rst half for a 1-0 lead. Carter, along with Josue Sanchez, sent several passes to the wings (Natanael Con- rad, Holmstedt and Angu- lo-Joli), who had several looks, as did Snyder and Carter inside the box. The second goal came from one of those attacks, as Angulo-Joli drilled the net for a 2-0 lead. The Seaside defense had to readjust after center defen- seman Luke Verley had to leave the game early, while Alex Campuzano-Luna and senior Ryan Hague held a near perfect wall to keep the Indians scoreless. Seaside continued to add pressure in the second half, and the Gulls made it 3-0 when Leif Dewinter sent a great pass in from the wing, resulting in a goal. The lead reached 4-0 before Scappoose scored on a misplayed ball by the Gulls, and the shot went over the top of the hands of keeper Patrick Chapman into the net to make it 4-1. Snyder responded almost immediately with Seaside’s fi fth and fi nal goal. Seaside, which has out- scored the opposition 10-2, will play Class 3A No. 1-ranked Oregon Episcopal on Monday at 6:15 p.m. in Portland. Yamhill goes the distance at Knappa The Astorian Yamhill-Carlton won a marathon at Knappa in a nonleague volleyball match Thursday night. The undefeated (5-0) Class 3A Tigers overcame a two games-to-one defi cit by winning the last two sets, for a 25-21, 17-25, 18-25, 25-17, 15-13 win. After a Logger loss in Game 1, “Taylin Regier stepped up to the line and busted out some nice fl oat- ing jump serves,” said Knappa coach Jeff Kaul, whose team built a 15-9 lead and never trailed. In the third set, the Tigers held a brief lead at 17-16, but Knappa tied it 17-17, and Logger Hannah Diet- richs rattled off fi ve straight serves for a 22-17 lead, on their way to the Game 3 win. But that would be Knap- pa’s last win of the night, as “both teams appeared to be feeling the effects of the heat and intensity of the match,” Kaul said. Yamhill snapped an 8-8 tie and led 12-8 on their way to the win in Game 4. The Loggers jumped out early and led 10-5 in the fi fth set, but the Tigers rallied and caught the Loggers at 12-12. Knappa briefl y regained the lead at 13-12, but Yam- hill scored the next three to bring the intense match to a close. “I can hardly express how happy I was with the overall efforts of this team tonight,” Kaul said of his Loggers. “We made some simple mistakes down the stretch and had some mis- cues that cost us some cru- cial points at critical times, but the girls played about as good a game as I have seen so far this season.” Dietrichs had six digs, fi ve kills and four blocks for Knappa, while Ava Skipper fi nished with 14 assists, and Sophia Carlson added 10 kills, seven digs and six aces. Vicki Ramvick chipped in 10 blocks and six kills. The Lady Loggers com- pete this weekend in the Ver- nonia Tournament. SPORTS ROUNDUP Amity sweeps Warrenton volleyball The unbeaten Amity volleyball team showed why they’re ranked No. 4 in the latest Class 3A rankings, as they won the battle of the Warriors in three games Thurs- day night, defeating Warrenton 25-11, 25-17, 25-15. Amity improved to 6-0 overall, while Warrenton slipped to 3-6 overall. “We just couldn’t get into any type of rhythm,” said Warrenton coach Staci Miethe. “The lineups I have tried just aren’t producing the right chemistry, so our serve receive and defense are not where they need to be to pro- duce an effective offense. “We have been relying way too much on our serving, and tonight that let us down as well,” she said. Miethe said Warrenton’s offensive produced less than a dozen kills (Avyree Miethe led with six), “and our block- ing game was not as effective, so our defense was really worked hard,” she said. Astoria boys defeat St. Helens, 4-1 After a scoreless fi rst half, the Astoria and St. Helens boys soccer teams combined for fi ve goals in the fi nal 40 minutes. Most of those goals went to the Fishermen, who left with a 4-1 nonleague win over the Lions on Thursday. “The boys fi gured out some things in the second half,” said Astoria coach Lee Cain. Shrey Sharma scored Astoria’s fi rst goal shortly into the second half, off an assist from Michael Postlewait. The Lions tied the score on a penalty kick, but Astoria pulled away from there. Astoria’s Dalton Byrd found himself with the ball on the right wing, sidestepped a defender and put it into the far pocket for a 2-1 lead. Sharma scored two more goals after that, one on a nice pass from Brooks Fromwiller and the other by David Ber- mudez, giving Sharma the hat trick. “Marco (Franco-Houser), Yahir (Garcia Rojas), From- willer and (Evan) Randall did a great job on the back line,” said Astoria coach Lee Cain. The Fishermen play Marshfi eld (at Newport) on Satur- day afternoon. Estacada, Seaside teams all tied up Seaside scored two goals in the fi rst half, and Estacada countered with two in the second half for a 2-2 tie in the nonleague girls soccer game Thursday at Estacada. The Gulls opened the scoring 11 minutes into the game, when Ila Bowles sent a corner kick in from the left side, and Gihre Lopez converted at the near post. In the 24th minute, Bowles cleared a ball on the right side. Emma Arden won the ball and broke up the right side and fi nished with a strong shot for a 2-0 lead. Estacada regrouped at halftime, and came out fast, scoring less than four minutes into the second half on a run up the right side and cross into the center. Just three minutes later, an Estacada player turned and launched the ball from 40 yards out, which squeezed under the cross bar. “Another story of two halves,” said Seaside coach Dave Rouse. “First half we scored two and missed several great opportunities. After that it was a tight game, with Estacada providing a lot of pressure. We had our chances, too.” — The Astorian Jeff Ter Har Ellisa Blodgett of Seaside (2) scores a kill in Thursday night’s match. North Marion posts win at Seaside The Astorian North Marion snapped a 1-1 tie with Seaside after two games Thurs- day night by winning the next two sets to leave the Gulls’ Nest with a four-set win, 27-25, 25-27, 25-14, 25-10. The No. 15-ranked Gulls fall to 7-4 overall, while the fourth-ranked Huskies are now 5-1 with their sec- ond win of the year against Seaside, which played North Marion in the Cascade Tournament. Seaside hosts Gladstone next Tuesday. Astoria volleyball sweeps past Rainier The Astorian The Rainier Columbians played their third match of the season Thursday night. And for the third time this sea- son, the Columbians fell well short of their opponents from Clatsop County. After previous losses to Warren- ton (3-0) and Seaside (3-1), Rain- ier suffered its worse loss yet, as Astoria swept the Columbians 25-5, 25-6, 25-12 at the Brick House. The Lady Fishermen improved to 2-2, and are ranked 14th in the Class 4A rankings. Julia Norris led Astoria with 11 ace serves, followed by by Taja Tui- amato (seven) and Hailey O’Brien (six). Kelsey Fausett led the attack with seven kills, with Kajsa Jackson adding six. “I was really proud of how my team didn’t let up tonight,” said Astoria coach Jessie Todd. “They were consistent and played hard all night long. It was great to get another home win.” St. Helens tops Astoria girls with fi rst half goals By GARY HENLEY The Astorian The short passing game of St. Helens vs. the speed of the Astoria girls — for the most part, it was an even match over much of the nonleague girls soccer game Thursday night at CMH Field. The only difference was two fi rst half goals for the Lions, who posted a 2-0 win over the Lady Fishermen. Both teams had a near- equal amount of possession time, as well as shots on goal and scoring opportunities. St. Helens just had better results. The Lions scored their fi rst goal just over fi ve min- utes into the game, then tacked on another with 12 minutes left in the half for the night’s only scoring. Several Astoria shots on goal were turned away by St. Helens goalkeeper Amber Trenaman, who picked up the shutout in goal to give the Lions their fi rst win of the season. Astoria drops to 0-2. The Lions opened the scoring just 5:05 into the match, when senior Mack- enzie Carlson took a short pass and made a run up the middle, scoring past Astoria keeper Baylee McSwain. In the 28th minute, a crossing pass from the right side ended up at the feet of St. Helens senior McKenna Coddington, who scored in a crowd to give the Lions a 2-nil lead. Astoria had fi rst half shots on goal from Taileigh Cole, Rainia Jagger and Elle Espe- lien (all saved by Trenaman), while attempts from Espe- lien and Brooklyn Zerangue (free kick) narrowly missed over the cross bar. The Lady Fishermen were winning most of the footraces to the ball, which resulted in more opportuni- ties in the second half. The fi rst was for Espe- lien, who collided with Tre- naman in a race to the ball, the St. Helens keeper mak- ing the save. Five minutes later, the Lions’ keeper knocked down another shot on goal by Espelien. St. Helens came up empty on a series of three corner kicks, while Trenaman was able to make two more saves on Astoria shots on goal from Espelien and Cole in the fi nal 16 minutes. After just one jamboree and one game over the fi rst eight days of the season, the Lady Fishermen will now have fi ve games in 10 days, beginning with Thursday’s match. On tap are games against Marshfi eld (Saturday, at Newport) and Elmira (at Wilsonville), followed by a road game at Westside Chris- tian and home games against Cottage Grove and the league opener with Seaside.
