SEAGULLS VICTORIOUS IN DISTRICT OPENER
Marla Olstedt scored in the 63rd minute of play to give the Seaside Seagulls girls soccer team a 1-0 win over Scappoose Wednesday in the District 1 opener for both teams.
Playing at a blustery LCYSA field in Warrenton, the teams played to a scoreless draw over the first 40 minutes .
"I don't think we executed every time as well as we could have," said Seaside head coach Dave Rouse. "We certainly had opportunities where we could have scored."
"I though the first half we had fairly good control of the game, but we were going against the wind. That's a disadvantage, but I thought we attacked well."
Sarah Weber had two attacking runs early in the second half, forcing a save by the Indians keeper on the second run. After Olstedt scored in a crowd, the Gulls had several other close attempts.
"We had a real nice header by Jordan Betzer," said Rouse, "I think off a corner kick, just barely missed the outside post. So that was a good sign too."
Scappoose's main threat is forward Emily McCoy, who kept Seaside's sophomore goalkeeper busy.
"I didn't expect her to be as strong as she was," said Rouse. "She's definitely improved since last year. The rest of the team plays good soccer."
The loss dropped Scappoose's overall record to 3-2, while Seaside improved to 3-2 overall heading into Tuesday's showdown against 1-2 Astoria.
"They've got a win under their belt," Rouse said of his Clatsop County rivals. "They always come ready to play us. We always come ready to play them. It should be a pretty good game.
"Their coach has instituted some new stuff and they've got some good young players."
Tuesday's match, the first of two district counters, is scheduled to kick off at 6:00 p.m.
