Beavers Drop Non-League Contest to White Salmon

Posted

The Tenino girls soccer team found itself a bit out of sorts, then trailing, and finally losing to White Salmon 2-0 in a non-league matchup on Tuesday.

“It was tough, errors that we don’t normally make,” coach Dave Montgomery said. 

The Bruins struck first on the stroke of halftime, putting the ball in the back of the net on a free kick that turned out to be the final kick of the first half. Coming out of the break, things didn’t get much better for the Beavers, and in the 57th minute, a miscommunication along the backline gifted the guests a second goal.



“We talked about trying to hold the ball during this one and we couldn’t connect the passes we needed to,” Montgomery said. “Credit to White Salmon, they were able to knock the ball around and play some smart passes. They didn’t have a ton of great chances but they took advantage of the chances they did get.”

The Bruins finished with a 13-7 advantage in the shot department.

Tenino (2-3-1) is scheduled to get a week off before getting into 1A Evergreen action next Tuesday at home against Montesano.
