from 1B
working on in practice were
starting to translate into
their gameplay on the field.
“During practices, we
have been working hard on
passing and movement on
the field, and we have refig-
ured our lineup a bit,” said
Tomaro. “These efforts were
noticeable during our match
tonight.”
Siuslaw was able to keep
control of the ball for the
first 20 minutes of the game,
with the mid-field and for-
wards doing an excellent job
of passing and applying pres-
sure on the Pirates’ goal.
The Vikings took a total
of 10 shots in the first half,
which included two for Ja-
son Garcia, three for Jaxson
Jensen, three for Dez An-
derson and two for Dylan
Jensen. Unfortunately, five
of the shots taken were off
mark, and the other five were
blocked by Marshfield’s goal-
keeper.
Their efforts to control
the ball were effective, with
the Vikings allowing the Pi-
rates only nine shots in the
first half. However, out of
the nine shots taken, Marsh-
field was able to score four
goals in the half. Still, goal-
ie Kayden Lane was able to
make four saves.
In the second half, the
Vikings made some lineup
changes and, as a result, were
able to hold the Pirates to
only two goals in that half.
Additionally, Kayden made
11 saves in the second half,
pushing his defensive skills
to the max.

Said Tomaro, “Our team
continued passing well for
the most part and kept ex-
erting offensive pressure on
the Marshfield goal. We only
broke into the box for shots
four times, but we did con-
nect for a goal.”
In addition to the goal
scored, there was a great se-
ries of passes from Yoskar De
La Mora on the outside to
Daniel Paasch in the middle,
and back out and forward to
Dylan Jensen, who was able
to touch in forward and into
the net past the goalkeeper.
The other three shots in
the second half were taken
by Jaxson Jensen, Garcia and
Derrick Vanduch.
Tomaro had a positive
outlook about the game re-
sults, noting that, “Although
we lost this game, we feel
good about our play and
our ability to work the ball
around the field playing a
passing game, and we look
forward to continuing to im-
prove through the rest of this
season and into next fall.”
The Vikings went on to
play on Thursday (March
25) at Junction City. At their
last meeting with the Tigers,
Siuslaw lost 2-5, but this
time the Vikings came back
from a 0-3 deficit to win the
game 4-3.
“Going into the game
we felt that it would be
a competitive game and
that we had a decent shot
at winning,” said Tomaro,
who switched some players
around from their normal
lineup in order to exert more
offensive pressure and get
more scoring chances. Un-
fortunately, those changes
did not work as effectively as
she had hoped, and Junction
City scored three goals in the
first 30 minutes of the match.
But in the midst of the first
half, the Vikings switched
their defense back to their
standard configuration and
shut down Junction City’s
easy access to the goal. In
the last minute of the first
half, Siuslaw’s offense made
a push into the Junction
City goal area, with Paasch
and Anderson teaming up in
front of the net for a goal to
cut the Viks’ deficit two two
goals, 3-1.
“At the half, we made a
few more adjustments to our
lineup, including putting our
regular starting defensive
line of Jerrel Brumley, Noel
Hernandez, Daniel Paasch
and Alex Goss back togeth-
er,” said Tomaro. “Along with
Kayden Lane in the goal,
they shut down the Junction
City offense for the rest of
the game.”

the field, Junc-tion City did
not score again. The Vikings’
midfielders and forwards did
a great job of winning pos-
session of the ball and push-
ing up the field into Junction
City territory.
“Our passes in the second
half were much more accu-
rate and our attack was much
more concentrated and in-
tense,” Tomaro said.
Jaxson Jensen scored from
close in the side of the goal
box, sliding the ball right
in the near corner behind
the goalkeeper. Dylan Jen-
sen then scored two more
goals for the Vikings. The
first was set up beautifully
by Dez Anderson, who ran
onto the ball and did a slid-
ing kick into the center just
as the goalkeeper was diving
for the ball. Dylan ran in and
finished the shot into the
empty net.
Dylan
Jensen
nearly
scored a third goal with a
header off of a corner kick,
but the ball bounced out of
the goal without fully cross-
ing the line.
After having a game of
growth against the Pirates,
the victory against the Tigers
was especially satisfying for
the Vikings.
“This was a really exciting
come from behind win and a
great morale booster for the
team,” said Tomaro. “The
win was made even sweeter
by the fact that our specta-
tors were allowed to attend
and some of our supporters
could be there to cheer us
on in person. It meant a
lot to the spectators and it
meant a lot to the team.”
Siuslaw’s final soccer
game of the season will be
this Tuesday (March 30) at
Elmira at 5:30 p.m.
