GIRLS PREP SOCCER
Aberdeen 3, Olympic 2
Aberdeen rode a dominant second half en route to a 3-2 win in a non-league matchup against Olympic on Saturday at Stewart Field in Aberdeen.
The Bobcats (4-1-1 overall) got on the board early in the game when Kennedy Kolodzie scored on a breakaway in the eighth minute of the game.
Aberdeen had a chance to double its lead in the first half, but a missed penalty kick kept the score at 1-0 at the break.
Aberdeen found the back of the net twice more in the first six minutes of the second half.
Senior defender Joie Mayberry sent a long ball forward that was corralled by forward Shay Dunlap, who beat her defender then slotted a low shot to the near post for a goal in the 42nd minute.
Four minutes later, a pass by Kolodzie sprung Miley Anderson for a breakaway goal and a 3-0 Bobcats lead.
An Olympic penalty-kick goal in the 61st minute and an Aberdeen own goal off an Olympic corner kick in the waning moments of the game led to the 3-2 final score.
“It was a very physical game and both teams got pretty banged up,” Aberdeen head coach Larry Fleming said. “The girls fought through it, put in the work, and were able to press the attack for most of the match and get a few well-earned goals.”
Fleming commended the performances of Kolodzie and Anderson on offense, senior defender Alyssa Yakovich for being a “stalwart” on the back line and Valeria Aguilar’s “effort off the bench.”
Aberdeen outshot the Trojans 19-8 in the contest.
The Bobcats junior varsity team tied 0-0.
Cesia Petersen and Ana Lopez were cited for their performances by Bobcats assistant coach Lindsey Scott.
Aberdeen hosts Tumwater in a 2A Evergreen League game at 7 p.m. on Thursday.
