The Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé Crimson Bears girls had their chances in Thursday’s game against visiting Soldotna, outshooting the Stars three-to-one on the Adair Kennedy Memorial Park soccer pitch, but falling by the score of 2-1.

“We are still struggling with keeping the ball in bounds and making the back line turn,” JDHS coach Matt Dusenberry said. “But, granted, there was improvement because we certainly had a lot more shots on goal and their keeper did really well with several of them. So I would say we had some improvement, but certainly the game didn’t go the way we were hoping today.”

JDHS easily outshot Soldotna and the barrage started country wise email marketing list early with senior forward Milina Mazon hitting a shot over the goal, sophomore forward Riley Schultz blasting a shot from the top that Soldotna sophomore keeper Ryan Queen covered and freshman midfielder Ayla Erickson put a shot wide.

The Crimson Bears had a goal disallowed on a questionable offside call, but then resumed their aggressive attacking, earning a corner by junior forward Peyton Wheeler that was cleared out of the Soldotna box, and then Erickson won the ball and pushed it to Wheeler who passed it along to Mazon, but her shot was covered by Soldotna’s Queen.
