HOQUIAM — Two goals in quick succession from Taylor Strom and Sadie Carlyle helped Hoquiam pull away in the first half as the Grizzlies down Castle Rock 3-1.

Hoquiam struck again two minutes later when Carlyle found the net with Abbi Spradlin providing the assist. Sadie received Spradlin’s pass at the top of the 18-yard box, beat two defenders and slipped the ball to the back post for the Grizzlies’ second goal.

Maya Jump benefited from another Spradlin assist when she finished a cross into the box in the 55th minute for a 3-0 lead.

Castle Rock (2-1 overall) got their lone goal in the 79th minute on a penalty kick.

Aberdeen 2, River Ridge 1

Aberdeen got a big second half goal from Rylie Knodel to secure the 2-1 road victory against River Ridge (0-4) on Tuesday night.

The Bobcats (1-2) gave up a goal in the 10th minute when Aberdeen keeper Charlize Gutierrez mishandled a loose ball that allowed River Ridge to take a 1-0 lead.

But Gutierrez shutout River Ridge the rest of the way and got goal support from Kylie Knodel, who scored off a cross from Brooklyn Lecomte to tie the game at 1-1 in the 12th minute.

Rylee Knodel gave Aberdeen the lead in the 50th minute when she hustled to intercept a pass intended for the Hawk’s goalkeeper and shot it into an open net.

Aberdeen head coach Larry Fleming said the victory should have been more decisive with the Bobcats out shooting the Hawks 12-2.

“We didn’t control the ball very well and we should have better possession,” he said. “We probably should have scored a few more goals but I’m glad we came away with the win.”

Montesano 4, Rochester 1

Montesano got two goals from Jaiden Morrison in a 4-1 road victory on Tuesday night at Rochester High School.

The Bulldogs (4-0) didn’t waste any time getting on the score board with a goal from Glory Grubb off a rebound in the second minute.

Morrison notched the first of her two goals in the 14th minute and struck again in the 34th minute shortly after a Rochester goal.

Zoee Lisherness tacked on an insurance goal in the 63rd minute.

Montesano head coach Fidel Sanchez said it took a while for his team to fully adjust.

“We had the ball a lot, which caused a lot of opportunities. Rochester sends the ball forward all the time and it was hard for the girls to adjust to that at first,” he said. “But the girls got some good attack going themselves.”
