GOOD NEWS COMES IN THREES
The Astoria Fishermen boys soccer team picked up their third win of the season Wednesday, defeating the Newport Cubs 3-0 at the Warrenton Soccer Complex. It was the fourth consecutive 3-0 result for the Fishermen, three of which were victories.
"We had probably twenty opportunities," said Astoria head coach Bill Patterson. "We got very few balls actually on the frame tonight. That will improve. We will work on our finishing of course. But, I was happy with the way we came out. Our effort was good. We played hard all game long."
Jair Macareno got Astoria on the board with a goal in the 18th minute off an assist from fellow sophomore forward Sean Speer. Macareno made it 2-0 Fish with a penalty kick in the 46th minute of play.
"Clearly in the second half, we dominated them with our possession game," said Patterson. "Numerous opportunities tonight. We probably had about 12 to 13 corner kicks. We couldn't get a head on any one of them."
Alfredo Garcia put the finishing touch on the win with a long goal in the 80th minute with an assist from Luke McAllister.
"The goal was scored from about 35 yards out," said Astoria head coach Bill Patterson. "Just a brilliant strike. Just a laser into the upper right hand 'V'."
Astoria (3-2) has one nonleague game remaining against 4th-ranked Hidden Valley on Saturday. The teams met last year in Portland and played to a 1-1 draw. This year's matchup will also be on neutral ground in Corvallis.
