McKay Royal Scots Girls Soccer 0-4 South Salem

South Salem handed McKay a 4-0 defeat Thursday night in a Mid-Willamette Conference (5A) girls soccer matchup played in Salem, Oregon. The Saxons controlled the game from start to finish, shutting out the Royal Blues in what was McKay's first league contest of the fall season. The loss drops McKay to 1-4 overall and 0-1 in conference play. The Royal Blues have now allowed four or more goals in multiple outings this season, pointing to defensive consistency as an area the coaching staff will look to sharpen in the coming weeks. Playing on the road against a familiar rival made the task tougher, but the margin of defeat gives McKay clear benchmarks to work toward. The Royal Blues will need to regroup quickly as conference games will continue to stack up on the schedule. McKay's next opportunity to pick up a league result comes as the team looks to find its footing before the heart of the Mid-Willamette Conference slate arrives.
