South Salem Saxons Girls Soccer 3-4 McNary

McNary edged South Salem 4-3 in a Central Valley Conference (6A) girls soccer match played Monday evening in Keizer, dropping the Saxons from Salem, Oregon to 1-5 overall and 1-1 in league play. The road loss stings, but the competitive scoreline showed South Salem had enough firepower to stay in the fight until the final whistle. Trailing in a back-and-forth contest, the Saxons found the net three times against a Celtics side that has been one of the steadier programs in the conference. South Salem's offense showed genuine signs of life, converting multiple chances and demonstrating the kind of resilience that can build momentum even in defeat. The challenge now is translating that offensive output into a result on the right side of the ledger. With conference play still young and several league matches remaining on the schedule, the Saxons have real opportunities ahead to climb back into contention. South Salem returns to action later this week with a chance to even their league record.
