On a windy Thursday night, the St. Louis Park Orioles hosted their first soccer doubleheader of the abbreviated fall season with the boys beating the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles 31- and and the Oriole girls playing the Eagles to a 2-2 tie.
Masks and social distancing were the norm for the boys soccer team and their fans as three players found the net to lead the St. Louis Park Orioles to a 3-1 win over the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles.
The Orioles opened the first half scoring on Bennett Kouame's left side goal. The Eagles would even the score as Diego Fuentes Rodriguez made a centering pass to freshman Justin Arias and he sent it past the goal line. Diego Fuentes Rodriguez almost put Kennedy ahead since he was awarded a free kick. Facing a seven player St. Louis Park wall, his shot bounced out of the goal and the scored would stayed tied at one at the half.
Dan Lainsbury would open the second half scoring for the Orioles as he went through a couple of Eagle defenders, went to the center slot and sent the ball to the net. St. Louis Park would conclude the scoring on a line drive goal from sophomore Amanuel Shetaye.
St. Louis Park improved their record to 2-1 and Kennedy fell to 0-2-1. Both teams return to action on Thursday, September 10. The Orioles host the Cooper Hawks at 7:15 PM and the Eagles will face the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars at 7:15 at Bloomington Stadium.
Next up was the girls game as Isabella Lone scored two goals, including the tying goal with :54.2 left in the game to help the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles tie the St. Louis Park Orioles at two.
Lone, the daughter of Eagle head coach Mario Lone, scored the first half''s only goal from the left side with 21:00 left in the first half to put Kennedy ahead 1-0.
But the Orioles would strike back in the second half with two goals. the first came on a left side corner kick from Alma Beaton and the second came when the ball deflected off of Xiomara Leon Vega and into the net to put St. Louis Park ahead 2-1. Could the Orioles hold the lead to record their first win of the season? Not on this Thursday prior to the Labor Day weekend as Lone would line the ball past Oriole goalkeeper Sophia Romero to even the score at two with :54.2 left. No overtime will be played due to COVID 19 restrictions.
Both Kennedy and St. Louis Park improved to identical records of 0-2-1. The Eagles will face the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars on Thursday, September 10 at 5 PM at Bloomington Stadium. The Orioles will also be in action on the 10th as they host the Cooper Hawks at 5 PM.
