SPOKANE -- The Dayton soccer team traveled to Spokane over the weekend for two tough matches against northeast Washington schools.
After a tough 6-1 loss Friday night to Valley Christian, the Bulldogs cruised to an easy 8-1 victory over Northport.
"Scoring opportunities were created by strong defensive play by the back line," said Bulldogs coach D.J. Frame. "The entire back line was strong, with outstanding play by Carlos Oribio, and anchored by Alex Weppler."
The dogs took a 3-1 lead into halftime and then added five more goals in the second half. "Dayton midfield, anchored by Junior Dedloff, took hold of the game and distributed the ball equally across field," Frame said.
Bulldogs Ian Smay and Roy Han each scored hat tricks against the Mustangs. Brian Mascall and Carissa Price got one goal each.
In Friday's game, Dayton could not keep up with the speed of the Valley Christian
Panthers, losing 6-1. "Valley Christian started with seven shots on goal all of which were blocked by goalkeeper Willie Weppler," Said Frame. VC eventually scored six unanswered first period goals however.
In the second period Dayton put together an attack that registered seven shots on goal and came away with one goal, scored by Smay.
"Outstanding play was turned in by Daniel Powell working from back line and moving to mid field," said Frame.
The bulldogs spent Friday night in the Valley Christian gym, and had a lot of good team-building time, according to Frame.
Dayton hosts Trout Lake Friday at 7 p.m. and again on Saturday at 11am.
