South Salem Saxons Girls Soccer 4-0 McKay

South Salem picked up its first victory of the season Thursday night, shutting out McKay 4-0 in a Central Valley Conference (6A) girls soccer match played in Salem, Oregon. The win moves the Saxons to 1-4 overall and 1-0 in league play, a confidence-building result after a difficult start to the fall campaign. South Salem controlled the match from the opening whistle, finishing with a clean sheet that spoke to a defensive effort as much as the four goals the offense put on the board. For a group hungry for a breakthrough performance, the shutout margin sent a clear message within the conference. McKay, also a Salem-area school, kept fighting but could not find an answer for the Saxon backline all evening. The result gives South Salem something tangible to build on as the league schedule deepens. The Saxons return to action next week looking to stack another conference win and continue climbing in the Central Valley Conference standings.
