CASHMERE – The Omak High School soccer team displayed how far it’s come this season by staying with league-leading Cashmere for 80 minutes last Saturday.
Cashmere won, 2-0, but it was by no means like the 6-0 shutout earlier this year or the 18-1 pounding of the Pioneers last year.
“Cashmere really likes to put on a show at home, but we kept it competitive,” Omak coach Chris Werner said. “Props go out to our team defensively, who didn’t shut them down, but limited the good looks they got on goal.”
Cashmere’s scored in each half on shots from center.
“One was off of a rebound that we didn’t finish playing defensively,” Werner said. “The second was a beautiful goal off of a cross on the deck with a one-touch finish.”
Omak goalkeeper Shawnee Covington finished with 15 saves.
“By far it was one of the best performances in goal we have had this year,” Werner said. “We have had some great goalkeeper play this season.”
Cashmere’s goalkeeper enjoyed a quiet game after the Bulldogs outshot Omak, 28-0, on goal.
Omak (4-10, 2-9-1-2 league, 10 points) is at Cascade (10-3, 8-2-1-0, 26 points) to finish out the regular season on Saturday, Oct. 27.
