Carly Christoferson’s Early Goal Lifts La Salle Prep to 1-0 Win Over Cascade

TURNER, Ore. – Carly Christoferson’s goal in the fifth minute was the difference-maker Tuesday as La Salle Prep defeated Cascade High 1-0 in a Capital Conference girls’ varsity soccer match.


Christoferson, playing a ball in the right corner, crossed the ball toward the goal that floated over the head of the Cascade keeper and into the back of the net. The Falcons dominated possession for much of the remainder of the contest, outshooting the Cougars 14-2.


“I asked a handful of players to take on new positions for the game vs. Cascade,” said La Salle coach Ryan Cereghino. “We had some players who missed some or all of the game due to injuries or family commitments. These players showed their versatility by doing a wonderful job with their new responsibilities on the field. Marissa Cereghino moved from the defensive line to help the team at striker and as a center midfielder. Genny Robinson played the game at right back and Amanda Byrne played as stopper.”


La Salle improved to 6-1-1 in conference play and 7-4-1 overall.
