There seems to be an epidemic going around the St. Louis Park stadium of the one goal loss disease and Tuesday night it spread over to the Orioles girls in their home opener as Marli Rajacich scored the game winning goal with 1:34 left in regulation time to lead the Minneapolis Washburn Millers to a 1-0 win.
Neither team would score in the first half. But the Millers, ranked eighth in Class AA, almost took the lead on a shot from Rajacich but Oriole goalkeeper Anna Roethler made the save. Another shot bounced off the football crossbar.
As the second half moved on, it looked like the game would remain scoreless and head into overtime. Not so as Lizzie Mewes made a left cross pass to Rajacich and she put it past Roethler with 1:34 to go and it would be the game winner.
The game was played minus a functioning scoreboard and it resulted in time being kept on the field.
Washburn improved their record to 1-0-1 and will head to Minneapolis Southwest on Thursday, August 30 for a 5 PM game with the Lakers. St. Louis Park fell to 0-2 and will host the Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders, also on the 30th at 5 PM.
