Pirates wake up in second half, fall to 4A Tornados
After allowing four first half goals to Yelm, Adna High School’s girls soccer team whittled the deficit in half, but dropped a 4-2 non-league contest on Tuesday night. Lydia Tobin slammed home a penalty shot in the 60th minute after Haley Roundtree was fouled inside the box. Those two connected in the 68th minute on a Tobin indirect free kick that found Roundtree. Yelm scored all four of its goals within the first 30 minutes of the match. Adna netminder Lillian Montat registered an eye-popping 24 saves. The Pirates will return to the field next week against Evergreen (Vancouver). “We took a step in the right direction in the second half,” Pirates head coach Patrick Richardson said. “We played pretty aggressive and a much better defensive half. It is a big deal for some of these small school kids to take on some of those big school opponents.” |
