The Chaska Hawks soccer teams flew into the St. Louis Park stadium Tuesday and the girls team shut out the host Orioles 1-0 and the boys got a second half goal from David Garcia with 3:01 left to play that was enough for a 2-1 victory.
In the girls game, one wouldn't be a lonely number for the Chaska Hawks as Paige Bakke scored the only goal of the game with 9:14 left in the first to lead them to a 1-0 win over the St. Louis Park Orioles.
Bakke would put the Hawks on the board as she took a shot from the center slot and put it past Oriole goalkeeper Sophia Romero to put Chaska ahead 1-0.
St. Louis Park would have a chance to tie the game in the second half but Alma Beaton's shot was saved by Chaska goalkeeper Jenna Williams. The Hawks had opportunities to widen their lead but Romero saved a pair of Maddie Davey's shots.
The Hawks improved their record to 7-2 and the Orioles fell to 0-7-1. Both teams with be on the road on Thursday, October 1. Chaska will play at Cooper at 7:15 in New Hope and St. Louis Park will head to Bloomington Stadium to face the Kennedy Eagles, also a 7:15 start.
Next up was the boys game that saw David Garcia, one of 13 Chaska seniors score the game winning goal with 3:01 left in the game that led the Hawks to a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Park Orioles.
The Hawks would score the lone first half goal when Oriole goalkeeper Luis Benitez-Matias was playing too far out of the net and would leave an opening for Chris Andino to put the ball past the goal line.
There would be good news for St. Louis Park in the second half when Bennett Kouame was awarded a penalty kick following a Chaska foul. Kouame would line the ball past Hawk goalkeeper Carson Youngman to tie the game at one. Could the Orioles send the home throng home happy? Not on this fall Tuesday night when Garcia would line a shot to the right side of Benitez-Matias and into the goal with 3:01 remaining in the game.
Chaska improved their record to 7-1-1 and St. Louis Park fell to 5-3. Both teams return to action on Thursday October 1 at 5 PM. Chaska heads to New Hope for a "Battle of the Hawks" as they take on Cooper. St. Louis Park faces the Kennedy Eagles at Bloomington Stadium.
Between games, the 2020 St. Louis Park High School Homecoming court was presented with Zaid Yusuf and Lilly Strathman crowned king and queen.
