Tuesday local roundup: Southridge soccer beats Kamiakin, clinches MCC title
The host Southridge Suns broke open a scoreless first half to score three goals and beat Kamiakin 3-0 in Mid-Columbia Conference girls soccer play on Tuesday night.
The win gives the Suns the MCC title with a 12-1 record, with a regular-season match at noon at Pasco on Saturday.
Kelly Brown opened the scoring in the 49th minute. But Savannah Brown followed that with a goal three minutes later.
Ariana McKenzie finished the Southridge scoring with a goal in the 78th minute.
Suns keeper Tiara Valadez earned the shutout with 4 saves.
Southridge earns the top seed in the MCC 3A district tournament, and will play in the championship on Oct. 31. It was the second consecutive season the Suns are MCC regular-season champs.
“The biggest challenge for us this season was to play a little more consistent,” said Southridge coach Greg Sambrano. “We had to move some players around, figure out where they fit. So there was a lot of tinkering. We do have a lot of good players. We’re finding ways to score goals, but our defense is the strongest we have ever been.”
