Riverhawks, Pirates battle to draw

Posted

Two of the better teams in the C2BL left Toledo High School the same way they entered on Monday night. One second half goal apiece was all Adna and Toledo could muster and ended on a 1-1 draw.

Lydia Tobin placed a 30-plus yard free kick into the back of the net in the 44th minute to give the Pirates (4-4-1, 1-0-1 C2BL) the lead. It marked just the fourth time this season they have been held to at least one goal.

In the 58th minute, the Riverhawks (4-4-1, 1-0-1) found the equalizer on a Braelyn Nyberg goal that ended up as the last tally. Toledo outshot its opposition 13-6 and head coach Horst Malunat felt there were chances left out on the field.

“We have a tendency to shoot right at the keeper,” Malunat said. “We were in it from the start. This team is getting more confident.”

Adna returns home on Wednesday to face RSB while Toledo plays county foe Winlock on the road, also on Wednesday.
