Landslides, and Sediments
in the Streams.” Focus-
ing on the north coast,
Dr. Bruns will discuss the
forestry practices in the
Oregon Coast Range that
have many impacts on the
slopes of the mountains
and the sediment in the
streams. He will discuss

The Siuslaw Viking vol-
leyball team opened Sky-
Em League play on Sept. 21
with a three-game sweep of
the Marist Spartans.
After taking the first set
25-11, the Vikings found

game. Usually, we were
done playing before the
November play-offs began.
But I did play at the College
of Idaho while playing for
Pacific University. The tem-
perature was nowhere near
zero and there was plenty of
slipping and sliding on the
cold snowy field.
The coldest I ever wit-
nessed occurred when I
played for the Pacific Me-
nehunes flag football team.
We were in the Portland

attacks are allowed to build
toward the goal with little
resistance,” Tomaro contin-
ued.
In the past few games,
the Viks’ defense has strug-
gled with keeping the attack
away from the goal, the
coach said. The hope is to
review the game footage to
find next things to work on.
Garcia scored two goals,
one in the first half and one
in the second.
“We took very few shots
in the first half,” Tomaro
said. “We had more in the
second half, but most of
them went wide or high.
Senior Kayden Lane started
in the goal but left the game
with an injury after a col-
themselves down 6-13 to
the Spartans in game two.
Siuslaw regrouped to take
the lead and game, 25-17.
Then they took game three
25-15 to take the match 3-0.
Hayden Muller had 33
digs and 10 perfect passes
on the night. Mylee Blake
had 8 kills, and Rhian-
na Lane had 8 kills and 3
blocks.
“The girls just played so
solid as a team tonight. Ev-
ery girl who touched the
floor had a strong game and
overall, it was just a great
team effort,” said Coach
Kari Blake. “Everyone
played their position well. It
was nice to see things start-
ing to fall into place and the
team starting to gel, just in
time for our league open-
er. Felt great to come home
1-0 in league for all three of
our teams tonight.”
Both of Siuslaw’s junior
varsity teams also swept
Marist 3-0.

third week in November.
When I showed up to
play, I was wearing sweats
with my jersey over my
sweatshirt to keep warm.
My teammates, from Ha-
waii, wore only their shorts
and game jerseys. They said
they only play in their of-
ficial uniform so I was en-
couraged to dress appropri-
ately. I removed my sweats.
It was cold and raining.
To make me even colder, I
jumped on a fumble, for-
getting the ball is dead on
fumbles in flag football. I
was now muddy, wet and
cold after only two plays.
Luckily, we won the game
and the championship
game the next week against
Portland State University.
As the Vikings contin-
ue to energize the Siuslaw
football nation, they will be
faced with weather condi-
tions not pleasant to play in.
If their ability to overcome
these conditions matches
their effort against Sisters,
then Viking fans need to be
prepared to dress warmly
in November. Get out those
Viking blankets.

lision in the box; he made
seven saves and allowed five
goals. Sophomore Derrick
Vanduch finished out the
game; he made four saves
and allowed three goals.”
While the game was not
as close as Siuslaw hoped,
“before the game, I told the
team that I wanted us to
score more than one goal
and that I did not want
the game to end because
of the 8 goal score differ-
ential,” Tomaro said. “We
accomplished both of those
things, so we are progress-
ing, albeit slowly.”
The future of the Siuslaw
soccer program, in only its
second year of varsity play,
looks bright, as the junior
varsity team split its first
two Sky-Em League match-
es.
The JV lost 5-1 on Sept.
20 to Marist. Freshman
Nicholas May scored the
lone goal for the Vikings.
On Sept. 22, Siuslaw
JV played Marshfield and
won 7-5. After going down
2-3 at the half, the Vikings
stormed back and scored 5
goals on the Pirates in the
second half. Goal scorers
were: Sophomores Eli Tat-
tershall (3), Ethan Jagoe
(2) and Bryan Santos (1).
Freshmen Sawyer Larson
had 8 saves and Nicholas
May also scored a goal for
Siuslaw.
The Vikings play next

well as the quality of forest
habitat. He will also touch
on water quality in coastal
watersheds.
• William G. Robbins,
emeritus
distinguished
professor of history from
Oregon State University,
speaking on “Production
Driven Endgames and
Oregon’s Coastal Envi-
ronment.” He will discuss
how market-related values
dramatically reshaped the
ecology and landscapes of
the coastal environment,
in particular transforming
watersheds.
