CPHS Soccer: Girls beat Muskogee 2-1 in shootout

For the second time this week the Charles Page High School girls’ soccer team (2-1) went to an overtime shootout and won, beating Muskogee (0-1) 2-1 in front a small Thursday night crowd at Memorial Stadium.

Neither team scored in the first half, and they combined for only ten on-goal shots in regulation. Sandite goalie Ali Day made three saves and Annika Kerns had five for the Roughers.

Destiny Ladd scored the Roughers’ goal in the 47th minute, but Julia Wolf tied it up in the 58th and the match was a stalemate from there.

Because the match was non-district it went straight to a shootout with each team receiving five shots from the penalty kick marker. Arial Esparza made the Sandites’ first kick and Ladd missed for Sapulpa, but Carson Sargent missed her kick and Kendra Dennis tied it up.

Wolf and Rhyan Gray had their shots saved, but Demi Deshazo put the Sandites up 2-1 and Raney Sumpter missed her kick. Karsen Lynch made it 3-1 to clinch the victory.

Both teams will take time off for Spring Break. Muskogee will return to action on the 24th at 6:00 p.m. with a non-district match against Union (0-1). Sand Springs will travel to Enid (2-1) for a non-district match, also on the 24th at 6:00 p.m.
