GIRLS SOCCER ROUNDUP-Tuesday

Scappoose 1, Astoria 0...Senior forward Emily McCoy took advantage of a defensive letdown to score the only goal of the game in the first half as the Indians blanked the Fishermen in the final regular season game for both teams. "It was an even match," said Astoria head coach Jim Flint, whose team closed the season with a 2-9-3 overall record, finishing seventh in the District 1 standings at 0-5-2. "We had our chances and created some dangerous plays, but had trouble finishing." The Indians (3-3-1, 5-5-2) finished in a tie for fourth place and will travel to Yamhill-Carlton (3-3-1, 5-7-2) for a loser-out playoff game on Thursday.
Seaside 4, Rainier 0...Sarah Weber scored a pair of goals in the second half and April Cockroft and Maya Dooley each scored in the first half as the Gulls closed out their season with a victory over the Columbians, vaulting past Rainier and Astoria into a sixth-place finish. "We were a developing team this year," said Gulls head coach Dave Rouse. "The last two years we had nine or ten girls play the majority of the minutes. We were playing much better at the end of the season, even in the Scappoose and Astoria games. The girls were moving the ball better." Rouse hopes to have nine to ten seniors on next years roster and expects significant improvement on this year's rare sub-.500 record.
O.E.S. 5, Catlin Gabel 1...The Aardvarks clinched the District 1 title in convincing fashion, beating the Eagles in a battle of league unbeatens. Both teams will advance to the state tournament.
Valley Catholic 1, Yamhill-Carlton 0...The Valiants finished second and Yamhill tied for fourth in the district standings. Valley Catholic will play the winner of Thursday's Scappoose-Yamhill-Carlton game on Saturday for the district's third and final berth to state.
