ASTORIA ESCAPES WITH SCORELESS DRAW
Outshot 15-5 by Scappoose on Thursday, Astoria got another outstanding performance in goal by sophomore Bug Coggins to earn a 0-0 draw with Scappoose on Tuesday. The game will not count in the district standings.
The Indians had nine shots to Astoria's three in the first half, but the Lady Fishermen had some golden opportunities to score. Lynnae Huber took a cross and fired a strong shot from about ten yards, but right at the Scappoose keeper Kasey Miller, who deflected it over the goal line. The resulting corner kick by Kristina Wilson, Astoria's second in the first five minutes of play, was punched away by Miller and cleared. Astoria had four corner kicks in the first 25 minutes of the match, but couldn't create another quality shot.
Scappoose missed a golden opportunity in the first half when forward Emily McCoy, coming off a 3-goal performance in a win over Rainier, got behind the Fishermen defense. McCoy's shot went just inches wide of the left post into the side netting. Coggins had a great save of another McCoy shot at the 25-minute mark. The senior forward had seven shots in the match, but came away scoreless as Coggins recorded seven saves.
Astoria played without sophomore forward Charlene Harber, who sat out due to a hip flexor strain suffered in the first half of the Seaside match. Her athleticism was missing as the Fishermen forwards failed to spark much of an offensive threat after the opening 20 minutes.
Astoria did get another strong performance from its defense, in particular 4-year letterwinner Janae Poe, who snuffed out several potential Scappoose attacks.
Astoria, now 2-3-1 overall, hosts Montesano in a non-league match Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
