Recap
Medford, OR — The Lady Challengers came out of their second game of the week with a win against Illinois Valley on Thursday night at home. The Challengers continue to gain their momentum by playing the passing and communication game they have decided to play. Cascade dominated on offense by passing the ball through the back and mid field to push the ball forward during the first 10 minutes to find those goal scoring moments. The Lady Challengers connected as a team to earn their first goal in the 12th minute from Emma Coats with an assist from Jordynn Jones. After the reset, Cascade regained possession of the ball and Emma Coats found the back of the net again in the 14th minute with an assist from Katharina Gray. The offensive press continued from the Challengers with two more shots from Emma Coats in the 23rd minute, a shot from Taylor Folin in the 25th minute, a shot from Sienna Wilcox in the 32nd minute, and breakaway shots from Lindsey Hutcheson in the 35th and 37th minute. Emma Coats found the back of the net for a third time to complete the Hat Trick in the 36th minute. With the Challengers up 3-0 at the half and a first half clean sheet from Josie Scaglione, the Challengers switched up goal keepers to freshman Lindsey Hutcheson to hold down the back line. Taylor Folin, Emma Coats, and Mae Ferreira continued to fire shots at the Illinois Valley goal keeper. One of those shots found the back of the net for Emma Coats in the 60th minute to complete a "Haul." The Lady Challengers complete their three game week at Lakeview on Saturday at 1:00pm.
