The Sturgeon Bay Clippers won a pair of soccer matches this weekend, routing Valders 8-0 on Friday before beating Wausau East 3-1.
VALDERS
Sturgeon Bay's Alexis Olson scored a hat trick on Friday night leading the team to an 8-0 win over a short handed Valders team. Valders had only 12 players as 6 were still at school and participating in the school's musical. Also scoring for the Clippers were Malaya Martinez (2 goals) and Yarrow Goettelmann (2 goals). The final goal was an own goal off a deflection from a Valders defender.
The team finally found some offensive rhythm in this game making 7 of 16 shots on goal plus the keeper for Valders had 5 saves too. This was the focus of our game plan and finding success scoring bodes well for our conference games next week.
WAUSAU EAST
Finally stringing two wins in a row together, Sturgeon Bay turned a first half tie into a solid win with two second half goals. Malaya Martinez scored in the 28th minute after which Wausau East scored in the 33rd minute. A stingy Sturgeon Bay defense would not allow a shot on goal the entire second half while Alexis Olson found the back of the goal in the 66th minute putting Sturgeon Bay back on top 2-1. Late in the game at the 78th minute, Milan Eliyha scored the dagger off a corner kick and the 3-1 win. This was a hard fought win for the Clippers who face conference rival Peshtigo next Tuesdays at Clark Field in Sturgeon Bay.
