Pateros, Brewster soccer teams pick up league wins

PATEROS – The Nannies varsity girls soccer team got back on the winning track with wins over Bridgeport, 4-1, on Sept. 28, followed by Manson, 4-0, on Oct. 3. The victories come after a pair of losses against Brewster, 6-1, on Sept. 26, and 8-1 against defending state champion Okanogan Bulldogs.

Stevie Simmons with two goals and Giselle Ceniceros and Coco Cronin with one apiece powered the win over the Fillies. Ceniceros scored twice and Cronin and Simmons once each in the win over Manson.

Pateros played one of its best games of the season at Liberty Bell on Sept. 19 when the Nannies fought to a 2-2 overtime tie with the Mountain Lions.

Head coach Olivia Cronin described the contest as “intense and exciting to watch and an absolute battle.”

“We jumped on them early when Wrandie Bowen made a great assist to Giselle Ceniceros who put it in the goal,” Cronin said.

Liberty Bell tied the game, 1-1, before the half.

“In the second half, Liberty Bell scored first,” said Cronin. “When Liberty Bell’s defense was called for a handball, Coco Cronin took a long free kick that sailed into the goal with about five minutes left in the game to tie it, 2-2.”

Coach Cronin said the game then went into overtime.

“After 10 minutes the score still remained 2-2,” said Cronon. “The game ended in a shootout with Liberty Bell taking the victory.”

Brewster wins three

The Bears’ varsity girls have been on a roll with three consecutive wins following their loss to Quincy on Sept. 21. After defeating visiting St. George’s, 2-1, on Sept. 21, Brewster beat Pateros, 6-1, on the Bears’ home field and shut out Manson, 3-0, on the road, Sept. 28.
