Skyline League
Wolves top Cruisers
League-leading Days Creek swept visiting Powers, 25-22, 25-10, 25-20 on Tuesday.
“Overall, I thought we played Days Creek very well,” said Powers coach Beth Rector. “We made them work pretty hard for every point. We had some good serving and good attacks and net play, but we weren’t able to finish the rallies.”
Nicole Bittner had four kills and two aces, Kristin Clauson had 12 digs, Haley Patterson had 10 assists and Liz Linderman had five kills for the Cruisers.
BOYS SOCCER
Pilots beat Panthers
Alex Mikue had two goals and an assists to help Canyonville Christian to a 4-1 win over visiting Gold Beach.
Mario Pena and Artur Zubets had the other goals for the Pilots.
Gold Beach still is seeking its first win in Class 3A-2A-1A District 3, though the team has two ties. Canyonville Christian improved to 5-4-0.
GIRLS SOCCER
Glide tops Coquille
Glide beat host Coquille 4-1 on Tuesday, but Coquille co-coach Sharon Usselman came away pleased with her team’s performance.
Usselman praised the girls for their play in their meeting after the match.
“This was definitely a win in my book for us,” she recalled telling the players.
“Even though the score was 4-1, we held Glide to a 0-0 tie until after halftime,” she said. “It was tied in the second half 1-1 for quite a while.”
Megan Sullivan scored the goal for the Red Devils.
Glide pulled away with three goals in the last 10 minutes.
“It was a very good effort,” Usselman said. “It was probably the best 75 minutes of soccer our girls have played this year.”
Freshman Katy Cornell blossomed in her second match at center fullback in place of Christie Andy, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament last week.
Bailey Richardson had her best game at midfielder and exchange student Mia Toskala had a strong game at fullback in the second half.
Usselman also said senior Cheyenne Sherbondy has been a team leader in practice for the young squad.
Jenny Stevenson led the Lancers with nine blocks and three kills, while Taylor Whitmore chipped in 11 assists.
“They move good, and they always bring the ball back hard,” said South Umpqua coach Sarah Grey of the Bulldogs. “I felt like we were on the defense most of time.”
