RSFC defeated the Eagle Patriots last night, 5-3, in a close, well-played match in an afternoon thunderstorm.  After jumping to an early 2-0 lead with goals in the 3rd and 7th minutes from Nic Anderson and Steven Egeler, RSFC settled down and eventually extended the lead in the 34th minute with second goal from Egeler.  At half the score was a comfortable 3-1, but the Patriots persisted and the remainder of the game was played within a one-goal margin.  Nic Anderson’s goal in the 52nd minute and Ian Cherny’s game-sealer in the 78th put the game out of reach.  Men of the Match: Nic Anderson and Ian Cherny, but congratulations to all for their efforts in the win!

Next Game: Saturday, April 4 @ 3:00 p.m. vs. International.  (Ann Morrison Field #6).

The Riverstone soccer teams got their seasons underway on a cold & blustery Saturday last weekend. Though both games resulted in losses, the foundations have been set for successful seasons.  The Middle School Otters matched up against Borah Heat and played a much closer game than the 5-0 score indicated.  8th Grader Alex Rose came inches…no, millimeters!…from her first Riverstone goal and she can’t be held off for much longer!  In the High School game, RSFC got out to an early lead with a second minute goal from German exchange student Steven Egeler.  Over the remainder of the first half, Mountain View tallied five goals, but were held scoreless in the second, and the game finished 5-2.  The Middle School Otters play their next game on Saturday, March 14 against the Rebels.  Kickoff is at 9:00 a.m. on Ann Morrison Field #5.  The High School RSFC faces off against Runnin’ Riot, also on Saturday, March 14 at 11:00 a.m. on Ann Morrison Field #4.  Come on out and catch a double header this weekend!
