The St. Louis Park Orioles soccer teams finally got a cure for the one goal blues on their home turf Tuesday night as the girls pounded the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles 5-0 and the boys ended up in a scoreless deadlock with the Eagles.
In the girls game, Samantha Baer and Ellie Kent scored two goals apiece to lead the St. Louis Park Orioles to a 5-0 win over the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles.
The Eagles almost got the early lead when Danielle Anderson's corner kick was headed toward the goal but Baer's header kept the ball out of the net. Baer would then drive down the right side of the field and sent it past the left goal post to put the Orioles ahead. Malaika Bigirindavyi helped set up the next two St. Louis Park goals. The junior made a centering pass to Kent and the Orioles went ahead by two. Bigirindavyi would also find Baer and she connected to give the Orioles a 3-0 halftime lead.
St. Louis Park would up by four in the second half when the ball deflected off of Kent and landed in the goal. They would wrap up the scoring as Abby Bremner's shot hit the crossbar and Sophia Davenport positioned herself on the right side of the net and lined it in.
The Orioles improved their record to 2-4 and travel to Chanhassen on Thursday, September 15 to take on the Storm at 7 PM. The Eagles fell to 1-4 and host the Cooper Hawks, also on the 15th at 7 PM.
Kennedy goalkeeper Julia Monson, who also plays lacrosse mentioned about her sister Ellie, who scored eight goals last spring at St. Louis Park about not playing sports at St. Catherine.
"It's kind of a surprise that she didn't want to play sports in college," Julia said.
As for Julia Monson, she is considering playing Division I lacrosse and looking into Butler and Marquette.
Now to the boys game. There were scoring opportunities and outstanding defense but both the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles and St. Louis Park Orioles played to a 0-0 tie.
The Orioles had a chance to take the lead but Jacob Stillman's shot bounced off the crossbar. Edgar Benitez had a shot for the Eagles but the ball went wide to the left. Both teams played stellar defense that denied scoring chances for both teams.
Kennedy improved their record to 3-2-2 and hosts the Cooper Hawks on Thursday, September 15 at 5 PM. St. Louis Park improved their record to 2-4-1 and is also in action on the 15th with a 5 PM game in Chanhassen against the Storm.
