The temperature was close to 90 degrees Saturday afternoon but it didn't cool off the host St. Louis Park Orioles soccer teams as both the boys and girls recorded shutouts. The boys blanked the New Prague Trojans 6-0 and the girls used a solid first half to shut down the Watertown-Mayer Royals 2-0.
The boys game was first as Randy Mayele scored two goals to lead the St. Louis Park Orioles to a 6-0 win over the New Prague Trojans.
Mayele began the scoring for the Orioles as he drove downfield and the ball bounced into the net. Freshman Nicholas Kent, playing his first varsity game of the season proved himself after he got a pass from Alex Ruiz-Shimada and put St. Louis Park ahead by two.
Outstanding passing was also the key to the Orioles win and it showed on the third goal when Nick Riley found Zinedine Kroeten on the left side of Trojan goalkeeper Kade Eggum and he found an opening and put the ball in. St. Louis Park concluded the first half scoring as Lioul Minas received a pass from Ruiz-Shimada and he would also score his first varsity goal to give the Orioles a 4-0 halftime lead.
In the second half, Mayele, a junior forward would use his speed to dribble the ball through the center slot and score his second goal. Two more roster additions would factor into the Orioles scoring. Jovan Dennison would feed Bennett Kouame and he would put St. Louis Park by six to conclude the scoring.
The Orioles recorded their sixth straight win and improve their record to 6-0-1 and have scored 17 consecutive unanswered goals. They will return to action on Monday, September 17 at 5 PM as they host the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles. The Trojans, coached by St. Louis Park graduate Gospel Kordah, fell to 4-5-1. They will travel to Rockford on Thursday, September 20 for a 5 PM game against the Rockets.
Now to the girls game as Alma Beaton scored a goal and assisted on another to lead the St. Louis Park Orioles to a 2-0 win over the Watertown-Mayer Royals.
The game was rescheduled from August 27 due to inclement weather.
Beaton would assist on the first goal as she made a left side pass to Ellie Kent and she put the Orioles ahead. The St. Louis Park freshman would clinch the win when her shot was saved by Royal goalkeeper Sage Heitz and Claire Bargman scored on a rebound. Neither team would score in the second half as the Orioles used their bench to put the reserves into the game on this hot Saturday.
St. Louis Park improved their record to 2-3-2 and will also be in action on the 17th as they host the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles at 7 PM. Watertown-Mayer fell to 5-3 and hosts the Mound-Westonka Whitehawks on Thursday, September 20 at 7 PM
