TUESDAY PREP ROUNDUP

GIRLS SOCCER
Astoria 0, R.A. Long 0...An evenly-matched, defensive battle ended in a scoreless draw for the Lady Fishermen and Lumberjills. Astoria outshot R.A. Long 5-to-4, while the Jills had two corner kicks to Astoria's one. Astoria's best scoring opportunity came off Kristina Wilson's corner kick in the second half, headed by 5-11 striker Charlene Harber just over the crossbar. "Both teams had lots of counterattacks up and down the field," said Astoria head coach Jim Flint. "Just not a lot of shots on goal because both back line were really spurning those attacks. It was an excellent game." R.A. Long got a quality shot in the first half, a well-struck low shot from 12-yards out that Astoria's All-Cowapa League goalkeeper Bug Coggins was able to save. Astoria's next two games are on the road, Saturday at Philomath and next Tuesday at Gladstone, which defeated Seaside 2-1 yesterday across the road from Astoria's game at the Lower Columbia Youth Soccer Association complex.

"We got tired on the court." The Warriors rest up today for another match Thursday against defending Lewis & Clark League West Division champion Neah-Kah-Nie in the league opener for both teams.
Corbett def. Knappa 25-20, 25-23, 25-19...The Lady Loggers battled league power Corbett tough on the road, twice scoring in the twenties before falling in a 3-game sweep.
Tillamook def. Seaside 25-10, 26-24, 25-22...The improved Seagulls again battled one of the Cowapa League contenders toe-to-toe, at least after the first game. The Gulls let game two slip away as the Cheesemakers scored seven consecutive points, fending off five game points to take a two games to none lead. Seaside led 15-10 in game three before the Mooks came back again. For the second straight league match, Seaside's junior middles, Abbie Huddleston and Megan Potter, put up a forceful block. "Both set up some tremendous blocks," said Seaside head coach Mitch Ward. "And with right side help from Shelby Sebert we forced Tillamook to tip and chip in the second and third games." Tillamook improved to 2-0 in league while Seaside falls to 0-2.
Jewell def. Perrydale 23-25, 25-20, 25-16, 25-15...Amanda DePonte and Jalina Johnson led the Jays to a home win over the Pirates.
