TUESDAY PREP ROUNDUP

BOYS SOCCER
Astoria 2, Yamhill-Carlton 0...After a sluggish first half, Astoria scored two goals in a 4-minute span to put the game away in the second half for a Cowapa League opening win at Yamhill. Jair Macareno scored both Astoria goals off assists from Zack Norton in the 48th minute and Sean Speer in the 52nd minute. "We didn't play that well in first half," said Astoria head coach Bill Patterson. "We ran into our same old problem, we seem to come out and play to level of our opponent. We just played a lot of kick ball, we looked lethargic, not a lot of energy. In the second half, we came out very hard and played the kind of soccer Astoria is known for. We played aggressive and had a nice passing game." The Fishermen (1-0 Cowapa, 4-3 overall) return home to face Scappoose Thursday night at 6:00 p.m. "It's gonna be a tough, physical game for first place in league," said Patterson.
Seaside 1, Tillamook 1...After a scoreless first half, Leo Luna put the Gulls on the board early in the second half off a Henry Broderick assist, but Tillamook took advantage of a defensive lapse to score the equalizer off the foot of sophomore midfielder Miguel Rosano in the 65th minute. "Two or three guys went to the attacker with the ball," said Seaside head coach Jon Broderick. "The guy was left unmarked by a young defense." The Seagulls are 2-2-1 and Tillamook moved to 1-3-2 overall following the Cowapa League opener for both teams. "We had a couple of chances and perhaps should have won it," said Broderick. "Our goalkeeper did a good job of stopping their shots." Seaside has bolstered its lineup with the addition of senior David Campos, who played his first match of the season. The Seagulls are off until Monday when they host Yamhill-Carlton

VOLLEYBALL
Astoria 3, Seaside 0...The Seagulls continue to play very competitive volleyball against Astoria, cut couldn't get over the hump Tuesday night. After Astoria slipped past Seaside 25-22 in game one, the Gulls stormed to a 21-11 lead in the second game and had five chances at game point with a 24-19 lead before Astoria came-from-behind to win 26-24. "That really took the wind out of our sails," said Seaside head coach Mitch Ward. The Lady Fishermen completed the sweep with a 25-18 result in game three. Kristen Saulsbury of Astoria and Seaside's Ellie Wiese each had ten kills in the match. Seaside's Meagan Potter had a strong game at the net with four solo blocks and a block assist. Astoria's middle blocker, Meredith Barnes, contributed seven kills and three service aces, while Hilary O'Bryan and Emily Bunnell each had five kills and a passer rating over 2.0. The Lady Fishermen, now 5-1 in Cowapa League and 6-2 overall, travel to Scappoose on Thursday. Seaside, now angling for a third place finish in league, travels to unbeaten Tillamook on Thursday. "If we are on, I think we can beat any team in the league," said Ward, "but if we are off any team can beat us."
Warrenton 3, Vernonia 0...The Lady Warriors continue to run roughshod over the Lewis & Clark League, having yet to lose a game in three matches after defeating Vernonia 25-13, 24-16, 25-9. Junior middle blocker Lauren Dove had one of her best matches of the year, hitting a perfect 12-for-12 with eight kills. Ashley Poole added eight kills, Brandi Jasmin had three kills and two blockes while passing 11-for-12 and Brooklyn Campbell was 11-for-12 at the service line. Warrenton hosts Catlin Gabel on Thursday. The Eagles lost to Rainier 24-26, 25-11, 25-12, 25-14 last night.
Portland Christian 3, Knappa 0...The undersized Lady Loggers did as well as could be expected against the top-ranked Royals and 6-4 senior Kim Hill, one of the state's top players, falling 25-10, 25-12, 25-16. Knappa faces another tall team on Thursday when they travel to Cloverdale to take on Nestucca, which lost a 4-game match to De La Salle Tuesday night. In other N.W. League action...Corbett defeated Portland Lutheran 3-0 and Gaston swept Faith Bible 3-0.
La Center 3, Ilwaco 0...The Lady Fishermen came close to taking a game once again, before falling 25-17, 25-20, 27-25 to a senior-laden La Center squad. "They were really good games," said head coach Candee Johnson. "I'm hoping this is the turning point."
Naselle 3, Tacoma Baptist 0...Naselle improved to 3-2 overall with a 25-21, 26-24, 25-6 win at home. Sylvia Herrold scored ten kills and served out the match with 11 straight points, seven on aces. Brandi Keightley added six kills for the Comets. Naselle's next game is at Northwest Christian on Thursday.
