Bulldogs 5, Eagles 0
ELMA — Scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes, Montesano trounced rival Elma in an Evergreen 1A League opener Tuesday at Davis Field.
Samantha Stanfield had a hand in Monte’s first two goals. She needed only two minutes to open the scoring with a direct kick from 20 yards out in the second minute. Eight minutes later, she sent a through ball that Brooke Streeter converted.
Zoee Lisherness scored in each half for the Bulldogs (1-0, 6-1-2). Anna Ayres added the final goal, stealing the ball from a defender before wheeling and sending a shot into the upper right corner of the net.
Ayres received Monte’s Player of the Match award.
The speedy Bulldogs had the Eagles (0-1, 4-3-2) scrambling throughout.
“We’ve been preaching movement going forward,” Bulldog coach Fidel Sanchez said. “We found open space multiple times. The girls are so good about moving into space and that creates quality touches and quality shots.”
“They’re a really fast team,” Elma coach Scott Rockey said. “We tried to adapt and put out the fires, but we couldn’t put out enough fires.”
Jillian Bieker and Emily Newberry drew Rockey’s praise.
Ellie Jones scored the hat trick as the Bulldogs took the JV match, 4-2.
Tenino will be the next opponent for both East County teams. The Bulldogs will host the Beavers on Thursday. The Eagles will be idle until visiting Tenino on Tuesday.
