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.”
