Hastings falls for first time in I-
this spring as Harper Creek rallies
Brett Bremer

The Hastings girls bounced back from a
one-goal loss at Harper Creek to score a 3-
win over visiting Parma Western Friday
evening in Hastings.
The Saxon varsity girls’ soccer team
improved to 3-1-2 in the Interstate-8 Athlet-
ic Conference with the win over the Pan-
thers and were looking to continue their
push for one of the top spots in the confer-
ence they went to Marshall last night, May
17, for the final ballgame of the conference
regular season.
Marshall and Harper Creek were both
5-0-1 in conference play this spring heading
into last night’s action.
Even in a defeat last Wednesday at Harp-
er Creek, Hastings head coach Tim Schoes-
sel was pretty pleased with his Saxons’
efforts.
“Harper Creek was a great game. It did
not end the way we wanted, but the girls
played one of their best games of the sea-
son,” Schoessel said.The first half mostly went the way the
Saxons would have wanted. The Beavers
struck first, but Hastings rallied to take a
3-1 leads at the half.
“We talked about smart and cautious
play going into the second half to protect
that lead, but Harper Creek was able to
answer with three of their own goals on
some breakdowns and miscommunication.
They had the lead 4-3 with about 15 min-
utes left in the game. Our girls attacked the
Harper Creek net over and over hitting the
post and several near misses, but just could
not find the equalizer,” Schoessel said.
“The girls were worn out, tired and frus-
trated that this one slipped through their
fingers but I told them to pick up their
heads and be proud of their play. Harper
Creek had only been scored on once in
conference play and we were able to get
three in on them.”
Lauren Lamphere scored two of the Sax-
ons goals and Raegan Morrison had the
third. Morrison and Bri Darling both had an
assist.Dekota Blough had seven saves in goal
for the Saxons.
“Kennedy Lewis, our sweeper, had a
great game as well, stopping several break-
aways one on one, giving us a fighting
chance to tie this game,” Schoessel said.
Hastings scored all three of its goals
against Parma Friday in the second half of
the first half. Dez Mathis scored twice and
Morrison found the net once. Mathis assist-
ed on Morrison’s goal.
Blough had six saves in goal to earn the
shutout.
“Parma is a solid team and has the ability
to score quickly so once again we discussed
smart cautious play going into the second
half and protecting the lead,” Schoessel
said. “This time the girls were able to
accomplish that.”
