Thursday night was the home season finale for the St. Louis Park soccer teams with the boys back on the winning track against the Cooper Hawks 4-1 and the girls shutting out the Hawks 3-0.
First up was the boys game as they bounced back from consecutive losses to DeLaSalle and Orono with scoring balance to beat the Cooper Hawks 4-1.
It didn't take long for the Orioles to reach the next thanks to Amauel Shetaye's right side pass to Bennett Kouame and he would tally :26 into the game. Kouame would set up to second goal as he fed Sebastian Tangelson and he would put St. Louis Park ahead by two. The lead would increase by three on Abdi Abdullahi's goal with five minutes left in the first half.
Both teams would score in the second half. There would be no shutout for the Orioles as Saymon Simons would line a shot to the net. St. Louis Park would get a rare goal from Beau Finley, who serves as a backup goalkeeper. But tonight he received a pass from Mason Boesche and his shot would roll into the net with :40.8 seconds remaining.
The Orioles improved their record to 10-3 and conclude the regular season Saturday, October 9 at 1 PM in Minneapolis. The Hawks fell to 3-10-1 and also end their season on the ninth as they head to Golden Valley to face the Breck Mustangs at 3:30 PM.
Now to the girls game. It was Senior Night and it turned into the Alma Beaton Show as she got the hat trick to lead the St. Louis Park Orioles to a 3-0 win over the Cooper Hawks.
In the first half, she had a chance to give the Orioles the early lead but her shot bounced off the crossbar. The second try would be the charm as the ball headed to the net. Beaton would score her second goal with 1:59 left in the first half and St. Louis Park led 2-0 at halftime.
Following the Senior Night ceremony that honored nine seniors and a student manager, it was Beaton, who will be playing next season for Minnesota that would wrap up the scoring as she did what she did best this season, scoring on a free kick. She would face a Cooper wall and lined the ball into the net.
St. Louis Park improved their record to 6-8-1 and ends their regular season in Minneapolis on Saturday, October 9 against the Washburn Millers at 11 AM. The Hawks conclude their season with a record of 1-12-1.
