GREAT FALLS, Mt. -
A two-game trip to the state of Montana opened well for Corban's women's soccer team, as the Warriors defeated the Lady Argos of Great Falls, 6-1, behind a pair of goals by sophomore Jessica Matthews (Yelm, Wash.) on Saturday at Siebel Soccer Park.
As reported by twelfth-year head coach Marty Ziesemer, Corban got goals from Matthews, senior all-conference Megan Waunch (Tumwater, Wash.), senior Tosha Wilson (Madras, Ore.), and sisters -- freshman Erin and senior Sara Laughlin (Ephrata, Wash.).
Matthews, Sara Laughlin, sophomore Hillary Abraham (Canby, Ore.), sophomore Marissa Walter (Elk Grove, Calif.), and senior Sarah Whaley (Gresham, Ore.) each handed out an assist, as five of Corban's six goals were assisted.
This is the second straight season that Corban has defeated Great Falls, as the Warriors opened the 2006 season with a 4-0 victory over the Lady Argos at the Corban Classic in Salem. Today's victory marks the Warriors' third victory since 1989 against a Frontier Conference member and pushes Corban overall win-loss mark to 3-5-1 against fellow Region I opponents.
So far this season, Matthews leads the Warriors with three goals and six points. Meanwhile, the Laughlin sisters have combined for nine points (4 goals & 1 assist) with the elder Sara having scored two goals and recording the lone assist.
With the win, Corban is now 2-3-0 overall, while Great Falls drops to 1-5-0 overall. The Warriors are next in action on Sunday, September 9th, when they continue their Montana trip with a match-up against Carroll College beginning at 12:00 p.m. (PST) in Helena.
