Silverton Foxes Boys Soccer 0-1 Mountainside

Mountainside edged Silverton 1-0 in a non-league boys soccer match Thursday, handing the Foxes their second loss of the season. Silverton, based in Silverton, Oregon, and a member of the Mid-Willamette Conference (5A), made the trip to Mountainside looking to build on a solid early stretch of play. A single goal proved to be the difference, as the Foxes could not find an equalizer on the road against the Mavericks. The shutout loss drops Silverton to 3-2 on the season. While the result stings, the Foxes had shown plenty of promise entering Thursday's contest, winning three of their first four games. Non-league matchups against quality programs outside the Mid-Willamette Conference serve as valuable measuring sticks, and Thursday's outing gives the coaching staff plenty to work with heading forward. Silverton will look to bounce back quickly when league play resumes and the Foxes return to more familiar surroundings.
