brightness on the horizon
for the Astoria girls soccer

The Lady Fishermen

2021 sports season and a

COVID-19 restrictions.
And with players still
returning to game shape,
Astoria fi nished Monday’s
season opener with more
leg cramps than Tillamook
goals, as the Fishermen hus-
tled past the Cheesemakers
on both ends of the fi eld for
a 4-2 victory.
Astoria senior Elle Espe-
lien scored the hat trick with
three goals in the fi rst half,
junior Karen Jimenez added
the fourth and Lady Fish
goalkeeper Shelby Rasmus-
sen made several saves to
help Astoria get the win.

It appears the free kick from Astoria’s Elle Espelien (9) has no
chance to get through, but the senior was able to kick the ball
over the Tillamook wall and placed it under the cross bar for
the fi rst goal of the season.
Espelien scored her fi rst
goal on a direct free kick
from 25 yards out, lifting the
ball over a Tillamook wall
and placing the ball per-
fectly into the upper net.
She scored her second
goal in the 15th minute,

Vernonia won a long fi ve-set

25-22, 15-13.
“The girls played really
great tonight for our fi rst out-

Kaul. “Couple of rough edges
to work on and a bit more
rust to knock off, but overall I
was very happy with how we
played.”
Hannah Dietrichs led
Knappa with 12 kills and
was 14-for-15 serving. Victo-
ria Ramvick was also 14-of-

Astoria bounced back

turned the momentum, jump-
ing out to a 20-6 lead in the
third set.
The fi nal set was tied at
21-21, before the Lady Fish-
ermen closed out the match
with a 4-1 run.
“I was really proud of my
seniors,” said Astoria coach
Jessie Todd. “They did a
great job of stepping up and
taking control on the fl oor.”
Astoria’s scheduled match
Thursday at Tillamook has
been postponed, due to quar-
