Siuslaw Vikings Boys Soccer 1-9 Coquille / Myrtle Point

Coquille/Myrtle Point handed Siuslaw a tough 9-1 defeat in a Far West League (4A) boys soccer match on Tuesday, leaving the Florence, Oregon squad searching for answers early in the season. The Vikings traveled to face a Coquille/Myrtle Point side that proved dominant from the opening whistle, building a commanding advantage the visitors could not overcome. Siuslaw managed to find the back of the net once, providing a small bright spot in an otherwise difficult afternoon on the road. The loss drops Siuslaw to 0-2 on the season and 0-1 in league play, meaning the Vikings will need to regroup quickly as conference competition heats up. Tuesday's result highlights areas where the team will need to improve, particularly on the defensive end, as nine goals conceded is a clear challenge for the coaching staff to address. Siuslaw returns to action with an opportunity to get back on track and pick up its first win of the fall.
