PENDLETON — Freshmen Ava Montiel and Elaina Jewett each had a goal as Umatilla pulled off a 2-0 win over Pendleton on Thursday, Oct. 2.
“The game was very rough with injuries and the weather not being on our side, but they really pushed through and persevered,” Umatilla coach Edgar Navarrete said. “They gave it their all and left everything they had on the field.”
Montiel scored 3 minutes into the game, and Jewett added an insurance goal in the 71st minute. Goalkeeper Rylee Sanchez had five saves for the Vikings (7-0-2), who are yet to lose a game this season.
Senior goalkeeper Citlalli Garcia finished with five saves for the Bucks (3-5-1).
“We outshot them, just could not finish today,” Pendleton coach Kiana Rickman said. “Got unlucky with a couple of bounces. Overall, our team connected and controlled a huge portion of the game.”
