The Othello Outlook – Thursday, October 8, 2009

Soccer: Forty-five minutes into the contest, Othello held a 5 – 2 lead continued from page A1

Othello 2, Prosser 1 Othello struck early last Saturday at Greyhound Stadium in Prosser on Lindsay Garza’s league leading 16th goal six minutes into the first half. Garza’s goal was the result of a great pass by midfielder Alexis Martinez who also leads the CWAC with eight assists. “The girls started out really well,” McDonald said. Ten minutes later Martinez scored her sixth goal of the season on a great run up the left side of the field and a crossed ball assist by midfielder Marissa Martinez. She made a great move on a Prosser defender to shoot and score, adding to Othello’s lead. The half ended Othello 2, Prosser 0. “We controlled the whole first half with dominance and were enjoying the success against a great team like Prosser,” coach Marinez said. In the second half, Prosser made the adjustment and changed their formation to a 4-3-3 to put more pressure on the Huskie defense.

Ali LaFontaine, Moses Lake, competed in the Oktoberfest half-marathon Oct. 3 in Leavenworth. LaFontaine finished 45th in her out of 117 runners in her age group and in the top 45 percent of competitors (just under 1200 total). It was her first half-marathon and longest race of her career.

engagements, were led by senior Karina Martinez. Martinez finished with a final time of 25:49 and a 21stplace finish. “One of Karina’s goals is to keep up with Christine and try to maintain her pace. She really pushes her,” Martinez said. “For not having Christine there, Karina ran really well.” Junior Yesenia Roman finished 31st, helping the girls to an overall fifth-place finish. The Huskies will travel to

Ellensburg today for a CWAC League dual meet with Wapato and Ellensburg and to the Richland Invitational Oct. 10. The Invite will host 53 high schools across the state and is a two loop course, on mostly grass, with a one big hill on each loop. “I’m excited to see how the kids do,” Martinez finished.

made it difficult for Prosser to create scoring opportunities. Several minutes into the half, Peterson was able to sneak behind the defense and score her 13th goal of the season, cutting Othello’s lead to 2-1. Peterson is second in scoring in the CWAC, behind only Othello’s Garza. As Prosser began creating more scoring opportunities in the second half, McDonald make the defensive adjustment. “With the score close 2-1, I had the girls play more defensive than offensive,” McDonald said. “And Allesha (Reyes) did a great job and made some awesome saves.” Reyes, the Huskie’s phenomenal freshman goalie, made three one-on-one stops against Prosser’s high scoring forwards late in the second half to hold on for the win. Reyes is one of the top goal keepers in the CWAC with three shutouts and an average of only one and a half goals allowed a game. Othello’s 2-1 win improved their record to 6-1 and kept their hold on the CWAC North’s top spot.

Othello 8, Wapato 4 Prior to the win at Prosser, the Huskies defeated the Wapato Wolves 8-4 on Sept. 29 at Huskie Stadium in Othello. Sophomore forward Vanessa McDonald scored her fourth goal of the year within two minutes of the opening whistle on an Alexis Martinez assist. McDonald would score twice on the day and add an assist. Four minutes later, Othello would score again on an unassisted Lindsay Garza strike. Garza would add goals two and three by the end of the first half. Forty minutes in, Othello held a 5-2 lead and Garza already had her second hattrick of the season. To open the second half, Garza struck again within four minutes with her fourth goal of the day off a great assist by junior midfielder Marissa Martinez. Othello increased their lead to 7-2 when McDonald scored her second goal on a slick Alexis Martinez pass with less than 17 minutes remaining in regulation. Martinez would total three assists on the day. “If I have Alexis or Vanessa

up, that really compliments Lindsay,” McDonald said. “If I push them back to the midfield because I push Daisy (Salgado) back, there’s really nobody who can complement Lindsay.” With a comfortable five goal lead, McDonald went to his bench. “I told the girls at halftime, let’s get up and let the JV girls who came up and supported you get in there and play,” he said. Junior Varsity goalie Ana Ramos relieved Reyes and made four saves and allowed only two last minute goals. Reyes made 13 stops on the day and allowed only one goal. Huskie defensive player Tiffany Martinez, now playing forward, scored Othello’s eighth and final goal with five minutes left giving Othello a six-goal lead. Despite the Wolves push and two late goals, the Huskies defeated Wapato 8-4. “They looked a lot better than they did against Connell,” Martinez said. “We’re still working on possession and carrying the ball, the girls are getting better … and we’re getting out of the injury phase.”

Volleyball: Yvonne Garza had 31 assists in the match against the Mustangs continued from page A1

18 assists between the two of them, Garza with 10 and Parris with eight. Libero Eden Garza provided exceptional defense in the back row with 20 digs. The loss at East Valley follows a tough five-set loss to the Prosser Mustangs at Tagarres Gym the Tuesday prior. “It wasn’t our strongest game (against Prosser),” Spurbeck said. “We came out kind of dead.” Othello controlled the offensive attack in the first set and established the defensive tone early. The Huskies took an early lead with Walker and Eden Garza serving and Mollotte providing the offensive power. Othello never allowed Prosser within three points,

winning 25-22. “There were definitely some bright points,” Spurbeck said. “Kylee went off on them and had a good game.” Mollotte ended the night with a game-high 29 kills and two aces. Prosser took sets two and three, 22-25 and 23-25. In both matches, Othello and Prosser remained within three to four points the entire set and swapped leads at least a dozen times. “The passing wasn’t real good,” Spurbeck said. “It has to be on in order to make everything else work.” Yvonne Garza had a tremendous game with 31 assists, while freshman Mikayla Parris added eight.

Othello came out hungry in the fourth set but quickly drizzled after Prosser built a 0-7 lead. A deep strike by Mollotte finally put the Huskies on the board 1-7. Mollotte wasn’t finished there and continued aggressive hitting and superb defense. With Walker serving and Othello’s momentum building, Spohr hit a cross court strike to tie the score 16-16 and eventually take their first lead of the match. Holding a one point lead 2524, Prosser’s forced error on Yvonne Garza’s serve gave the Huskies the set point, 26-24. Walker played a well-balanced game with four kills and three aces.

With the score tied 2-2, the fifth match began something like the fourth as Prosser built an early 0-6 lead. The Huskies never came within four points of Prosser, eventually losing 9-15 and the game 2-3. “As a team, we were kind of in a lull,” Spurbeck said. “But we’ll take it and use it ... and we’re peaking at the end and that’s what I want to see.” Eden Garza led Othello with five digs, freshman Natilee Ruiz added six kills and junior Brenda Rodriguez had five kills and two service aces. Following the consecutive losses, the lady Huskies will host back-to-back home games against Grandview, Oct. 6, and Wapato, Oct. 8.
