Another Beaton Game Winner for SLP Orioles

 For the second straight game it was Alma Beaton who would score the game winning goal for the host St. Louis Park Orioles and she did it 4:55 into the second half to lead them to a 2-1 win over the Armstrong Falcons Saturday afternoon.  

The Falcons, who have score only three goals this season would add a fourth on Ella Picka's center slot goal.  The lead would be short lived as Beaton's free kick went en route to the goal area where Vesna Dennison's header tied the game at one.  

In the second half, it would be Beaton who would once again deliver the game winner for St. Louis Park.  Facing a free kick on the left side of Armstrong goalkeeper Sydney Smith and a two player wall, she lined the ball to the right side of Smith and it would land in the net.  It would hold up for the victory.  

The Orioles improved their record to 5-7.  Since they started the season 0-6 under first year head coach Anne Beaton, who teaches English at Armstrong, they have won five of their last six games.  They will head to Long Lake on Tuesday, October 5 to face the Orono Spartans at Pesonen Stadium at 5 PM.  

The Falcons fell to 1-11-1.  They will head up Highway 169 to Anoka to take on the Tornadoes on Monday, October 4 at 7 PM at Goodrich Field.
