The weather was beautiful Wednesday night for a nonconference soccer double header with the St. Louis Park Oriole soccer teams as the girls lost to the Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders 3-1 and the boys beat the St. Anthony Village Huskies 2-1.
Leading off the evening was the girls game Paige Peltier scored a goal and an assist to lead the Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders to a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Park Orioles.
Nobody erased the scoreless deadlock in the first half though the Orioles came close on Anna Beaton's shot toward an open net that was deflected by the Raiders Molly Igo. St. Louis Park did get the lead in the second half as Dare Kroeten saw that Cretin-Derham Hall goalkeeper Olivia Kalla playing far out of the net so she found an opening and placed the ball in the goal. However, the lead was short-live as the Raiders would clinch the win with three unanswered goals. The first came a minute after Kroeten's goal as Caitlyn Mulcahy's shot took a high bounce over oriole goalkeeper Sophia Romero and entered the goal. Cretin-Derham Hall would take the lead on Paige Goaley's rebound goal after Peltier's shot was saved by Romero. Peltier would wrap up the scoring :16 later.
The Raiders improved their record to 3-0 and travel to White Bear Lake on Thursday, September 6 for a 5 PM game against the Bears. The Orioles fell to 0-3 and host the Minneapolis South Tigers on Tuesday, September 4 at 7 PM.
The August 27 game against the Watertown-Mayer Royals that was postponed due to potentially severe thunderstorms has been rescheduled for Saturday, August 15 at 1 PM. It will follow the boys game against the New Prague Trojans that begins at 11 AM.
Now to the boys game as they celebrated Senior Night with a balanced scoring attack to beat the St. Anthony Village Huskies 2-1.
The first half was devoid of black and white soccer balls crossing the goal line. In the second half, the Orioles struck first on Sam Gage's lined shot from the right side. They would increase their lead to two on David Benjamin's goal off a pass from Lioul Minas. The Huskies would cut the lead to one as Jasper Goldstein would elude an Oriole defender, cut into the center slot and send the ball to the net. It was all St. Anthony Village could do against a strong St. Louis Park defense.
The Orioles improved their record to 1-1-1 and host the Chaska Hawks on Thursday, September 6 at 5 PM. The Huskies fell to 1-1 and head to West St. Paul on Tuesday, September 4 to face the St. Croix Lutheran Crusaders.
At Halftime, 13 St. Louis Park seniors and their parents were recognized. They were Chris Anondson, Cole Beaton, Benjamin, Sam Diamond, Spencer Enright, Leo Finley, Sam Gage, Nels Hoikka, Isaak Kimmel, Zinedine Kroeten, Minas and William Staib.
