HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A11
Bulldogs winless in doubleheader
Hermiston’s soccer
teams have a
tough go in last
few non-league
games
By ALEXIS MANSANAREZ
STAFF WRITER
Both the boys and girls
soccer teams returned
from a very brief road stint
to host a doubleheader at
Kennison Field on Thurs-
day evening. After defeat-
ing its last opponent 12-
nil on their home turf, the
boys were looking forward
to continuing a two-game
win streak to end the pre-
season. Unfortunately for
them, and the girls, they
let their opponents get the
best of them and fell 2-0
and 8-0, respectively.
Up first were the boys,
and the Bulldogs (5-3)
had a tough top-5 team
to face. Hillsboro entered
the match with only four
games under its belt, after
going 3-1 on the season
defeating its opponents by
a combined score of 11-3.
Hermiston was able to
hold Hillsboro for the first
40 minutes of play, keep-
ing the Spartans’ chances
to score at a minimum.
Half way through the first
half, the Bulldogs had a
chance to take the early
lead and did until the goal
from senior Mark Mejia
was called back because
he was offsides.
The Spartans had only
eight shots on goal in the
first half, but after return-
ing from a scoreless draw
they were hungry for a
goal. Hillsboro found the
net in the 68th minute
when a corner kick led to
a header off sophomore
Gabriel Tena Palomares to
put the Spartans up, 1-0.
Ten minutes later, a
free kick just near the 30-
yard line was unstoppable,
sailing over the heads of
everyone in the box and
Hermiston
goalkeeper
Juan Navarrete.
After 80 minutes of
play, keeping a team of
Hillsboro’s caliber to only
two goals was significant,
especially when the of-
fense just wasn’t clicking
for Hermiston.
“I am pretty happy
with the defensive perfor-
mance,” head coach Rich
Harshberger said. “We
tried to switch things up
and get one back and try to
go a little more offensive.
We just need to fine tune
that a little bit because it
wasn’t working for us, ob-
viously.
“I don’t think there’s a
lot separating us. We’ve
just got to fine tune the
little stuff and we will be
right there with them.”
The Bulldogs didn’t
go down with out a fight.
They racked up four yel-
low cards — one in the
first half and the rest in the
second. After letting quite
a few 50/50 balls get by,
Hermiston starting putting
the pressure on Hillsboro
and with a little bit of bad
luck, got called for it.
“It’s just one of
those games
that’s a learning
experience”
Coach MacBride
“I don’t have a problem
with any of those yellow
cards,” Harshberger said.
“Stupid fouls like mouth-
ing off and stuff I’m going
to have a problem with but
that’s just the boys playing
hard and sometimes play-
ing hard gets you a yellow
card. We just take it and
roll with it.”
The boys will certainly
roll with the rest of their
schedule as they close the
book on the preseason and
now look to start league
play. “We’ve got to come
out and we’ve got to get
it because it’s all about
league play,” Harshberg-
er said. “Preseason helps
us in our overall ranking,
which helps us going into
the postseason, but we’ve
definitely got to come out
and get it.”
Girls soccer
The girls will have one
more non-league game to
work out some kinks, and
after the 8-nil defeat by
Sandy they can definitely
use the opportunity.
“I told the girls that
games like this have to
happen,” head coach Dan-
ielle MacBride said. “You
have to have some where
to gauge, and sometimes
you just need to get your
butt kicked. We battled, but
they were a good team.”
Sandy made its pres-
ence known almost im-
mediately, scoring its first
goal within the first two
minutes of kickoff. From
there, the Pioneers (3-1-1)
never looked back. They
scored four more goals
in the first half, all within
11 minutes of each other,
while the Bulldogs (3-4)
only had two shots on goal
— both coming from over
30 yards from the goal.
As Hermiston strug-
gled with communication
and ball control, it finally
caught a break when it was
able to reset at the half.
“It’s gut-check time, it’s
mental,” MacBride told
the girls at the half. “Are
they a good team? Abso-
lutely. Do they have girls
that will probably play at
the next level? Absolutely.
But that doesn’t mean that
we can’t do individually
what we need to do to win
our battles.
“I think they understand
that,” MacBride said. “I
think they were a little sur-
prised.”
While the Bulldogs
were held to very few
looks at the goal in the sec-
ond half, they did come out
a different team.
Hermiston was playing
more aggressively, win-
ning the 50/50 balls it gave
up in the first half, and suc-
cessfully moving the ball
into Pioneers territory for
what seemed like the first
time all game. Although
the Bulldogs couldn’t ex-
ecute on offense, the de-
fense was stepping up and
held Sandy scoreless for
nearly 30 minutes.
The battle wore the
Bulldogs out, however, and
they gave up three more
goals in the final 18 min-
utes. Sandy junior Sophie
Burton notched four goals
and fellow junior Baylee
Groom and senior Natalie
Paul score two each.
“It’s just one of those
games that’s a learning ex-
perience and, unfortunate-
ly, if we started the first
half the way we started the
second half it’d be a differ-
ent game,” MacBride said.
Even with the adjust-
ments made in the second
half, it’s a game that just
needs to be erased, Mac-
Bride said.
“You just move on,”
she said. “As long as we
keep consistent with our
game and the things that
we do well and individual-
ly growing as players. We
did a lot of defensive work,
it’s kind of hard to show in
games like this where you
have quick players like
that but as long as we are
playing our game to our
strengths throughout the
season than I think we will
be OK.”
