South Salem Saxons Boys Soccer 1-2 McKay

McKay handed South Salem a 2-1 defeat Monday night in a Central Valley Conference (6A) boys soccer match played in Salem, Oregon, dropping the Saxons to 6-4 overall and 4-2 in league play. The Scots made the most of their opportunities, converting twice to hand South Salem just its second conference loss of the season on its home pitch. The Saxons answered with a goal of their own but could not find the equalizer in the second half, leaving points on the table in a tightly contested rivalry matchup. The loss stings a bit given the home setting, but South Salem enters the final stretch of the regular season still very much in the thick of the conference race. With four league matches remaining, the Saxons will need to string together results to protect their postseason positioning. South Salem returns to action later this week, looking to bounce back and keep their playoff hopes firmly intact.
