The EHS girls soccer team battled hard in their games against Sisters and Creswell this week, but the team was unable to come out with a win in either match-up.
The Falcons lost 1-6 against Sisters on Tuesday, but the team proved to be competitive after being the first team this season to score on Sisters.
The point was made by senior Iris Frome, scoring off of a penalty kick in the last few minutes of the game.
“It’s a really good feeling to know that they’ve played several other teams with several different styles and we still were the first to shoot on them and score,” senior Jade Jones, a team captain, said.
Goal keeper junior Layla Burgess had a total of 14 saves in the game against Sisters.
Head coach Maddy Lee was proud of the team, despite the loss.
“Regardless of the score line, my girls fought and battled through every minute,” she said.
Jones received her first yellow card ever in the game against Sisters.
“You know it was a questionable call I feel,” she told Falcon News. “But I worked hard and l’ll take it.”
The Falcons played Creswell Thursday, losing 1-5 at home.
Burgess had a total of 13 saves in the game and Frome scored another penalty kick for the Falcons.
Coach Lee praised Frome’s performance for the week.
“Both were notable games for Iris Frome,” she said. “[Frome] scored both penalty kicks and led her team as captain by walking the walk in both games.”
The Falcons next game is this Tuesday at Pleasant Hill and starts at 4:30 p.m. Their next home game will be Thursday against Santiam Christian at 6:30 p.m.
