INDIANS TOP GULLS, WILL PLAY FOR STATE
Brian Maloney scored two goals as the Scappoose Indians defeated the Seaside Seagulls 3-1 at the Warrenton Soccer Complex.
"Clearly Scappoose is the better team," said Seaside head coach John Broderick. "They looked pretty good, frankly."
The win was the second for Scappoose over Seaside this year and puts the Indians (4-5-2 Cowapa League, 4-7-2 overall) into a winner-to-state matchup Wednesday against Yamhill-Carlton in the regular season finale for both teams. The winner would clinch second place in the Cowapa League and an automatic state berth. Scappoose has never played in a boys soccer state tournament.
The Indians had a 1-0 advantage at the half after a Maloney shot hit the post then deflected off a Seaside defender into the goal. The senior forward, who also handles PAT and kickoff duties for the Scapppoose football team, received a corner kick at the far post and scored, giving the Indians a 2-0 lead in the second half.
"I thought our boys did a good job of coming back in the second half," said Broderick. "They pressured Scappoose's goal a lot of the second half and possessed the ball nicely. They were more deliberate with their attacks and didn't squander opportunities."
Sal Oros tallied Seaside's only goal about halfway through the second half on a rebound deflection.
Junior midfielder Marcus Kienlen found the back of the net to seal the deal for the Indians, who host Yamhill-Carlton tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. The teams have split their previous two results, with the Indians winning 2-0 at home and the Tigers winning 2-1 at Yamhill.
"I think our boys played pretty courageously and deliberately," said Broderick, "but Scappoose just had a little bit more skill and speed than we could muster tonight."
Seaside (4-5-2, 5-6-2 overall) will finish the regular season against Astoria tomorrow and could conceivably still finish in second place with an upset of the Fishermen and a Yamhill-Carlton victory over Scappoose. The fourth and fifth place teams will play a loser out playoff game on Saturday with the winner taking on the third place team on Tuesday for the league's third seed to state.
