Girls soccer East Jefferson 2, Life Christian 0

PORT TOWNSEND — The East Jefferson girls soccer team picked up its third win out of its past four games and its third shutout of the year with a 2-0 blanking of Life Christian on Monday.

It was the Rivals’ first game since Sept. 22. Two games had been canceled due to COVID contacting and shortage of players on other teams.

“We didn’t play our best. We may have been a little bit rusty,” said coach Robert Cantley.

“We controlled the game fairly effectively. We had a good run of play in the second half,” Cantley said. “We worked on strengthening our strengths and improving our weaknesses.”

Ava Shiflett scored the Rivals’ first goal in the 25th minute with an assist to Clare Johnson. Kaylen Pray had East Jefferson’s second goal in the 52nd minute, with the assist going to Audrey Matthes.

Goalkeeper Savanna Hoffman made a pair of saves to collect the shutout and the win.

Cantley said Iris Mattern also had a solid game in the midfield.

“She was definitely our strongest player. She controlled the flow of the game,” he said.

East Jefferson (3-3) has now gone 3-1 in its past four games after starting the season 0-2. The Rivals’ next game is hosting Charles Wright at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Memorial Field in Port Townsend.
