Monte defeats previously undefeated Tenino

Scoreless in the first half, Monte scores 3 goals in second

Bulldogs 3, Beavers 2

MONTESANO — Brooke Streeter’s two goals helped Montesano overcome a rare deficit to beat undefeated Tenino while playing at home on Thursday night.

Tenino put up the only goal of the first half in the 27th minute when a miscommunication between Montesano’s defenders and goalkeeper. Montesano coach Fidel Sanchez called it “an uncharacteristic mistake.”

“We have not been down all year for more than 30 seconds,” he said. “The early goal was uncharacteristic for us. Our team found the character to believe and come together to come back and win this game, I’m proud of them for that.”

The Bulldogs bounced back in the second half when Zoee Lisherness eluded defenders and shot the ball into the opposite side of the net for a goal.

Streeter took Montesano (2-0, 7-1-1) the rest of the way when she managed to lose defenders before putting the ball into the far side of the net for a 52nd minute goal.

Streeter scored again in the 62nd minute when she capitalized on a pass through the middle from Samantha Stanfield for the winning goal.

Sanchez noted the play of Sophie Barre, who came in as a substitute. Barre and Streeter were named the players of the match.

Montesano’s JV team defeated Toledo, 2-0.
