The final Metro West Conference doubleheader of the regular season for the host St. Louis Park Orioles turned out to a sweep of the Bloominton Jefferson Jaguars with the girls recording a 4-0 shutout and the boys breaking a 1-1 tie to win 3-1 Tuesday night.
First up was the girls and it was Senior Night that turned out to be a success as junior Ellie Kent scored two goals to lead the St. Louis Park Orioles to a 4-0 win over the Bloominngton Jefferson Jaguars.
Kent would score the Orioles first goal off a cross pass from Rafferty Kugler to give them a 1-0 halftime lead.
Following a recognition ceremony honoring seven Oriole seniors, St. Louis Park put the Jaguars away with three second half goals. Kugler would tap in a loose ball after Alivia McClinton's shot was saved by Jefferson goalkeeper Jenna Clements. Kent would put the Orioles up by three after she received a pass from Ava Bishop. Then Sophia Davenport would wrap up the scoring on a line drive goal.
In addition to Kugler, the senior players who were recognized at the half were Malaika Bigirindavi, Rosa Sigrunardottir, Olivia Massie, Annika Vignes and Alex Balfour. Also honored was junior varsity player Devin Raynor.
The Orioles recorded their second consecutive shutout. In two games, they have outscored their opponents 5-0.
Both teams return to action on Thursday, September 28. St. Louis Park improved their record to 8-2-1 and travel to Richfield to face the Spartans at 7 PM. Bloomington Jefferson fell to 6-5-1 and will head down Highway 212 to Chanhassen to take on the Storm at 5 PM. The Storm has won five consecutive games prior to their Tuesday game against Cooper.
On to the boys game as Abati Dedefo came alive with two goals to lead the Orioles to a 3-1 win over the Jaguars.
Jefferson would strike first on a 53 yard shot from Cole Jungwirth that landed in the net. The Jaguar lead would be short lived as the combination of Dedefo and Nick Riley would account for the Oriles first two goals. Riley would pass to Dedefo and he would send it to the net and the next goal came on Riley's cross pass to Dedefo that would put the Orioles ahead. They would go up by two on Jacob Stillman's shot that Antonio Olivos Reyes, positioned on the left side of the net would head the bal to the goal to give St. Louis Park a 3-1 halftime lead.
St. Louis Park would preserve the lead thanks to solid defense and goalkeeper from William Phelan. There were about a half dozen stoppages due to yellow card violations but neither team would tally in the second half.
The Orioles would win their third straight game and improve their record to 7-3-1. They will return to action on the 28 as they head to Richfield to take on the Spartans at 5 PM. The Jaguars fell to 4-6-3 and will also be in action on the 28th at 5 PM in Chanhassen.
