South Salem Saxons Boys Soccer 1-0 McNary

A single goal was all South Salem needed Monday, as the Saxons claimed a 1-0 boys soccer victory over McNary in Central Valley Conference (6A) play at home in Salem, Oregon. The shutout win snapped a stretch of struggles and moved South Salem to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in conference action. Keeping a clean sheet against a McNary side that always brings a physical, organized defensive structure made the result even more meaningful for the Saxons. Without a detailed box score available, credit belongs to the entire squad for grinding out a tight, low-scoring match where every defensive clearance and midfield tackle carried weight. Picking up three points in league play at this stage of the season gives South Salem a foothold in the conference standings as the schedule intensifies. The Saxons will look to build on the momentum and string together another positive result when they return to action later this week.
