Illinois Valley Cougars Girls Soccer 0-8 St. Mary's, Medford

St. Mary's of Medford handed Illinois Valley an 8-0 defeat in Sunset Conference (2A) girls soccer on Tuesday, handing the Wolves a tough road loss. The Illinois Valley girls program, based in Cave Junction, Oregon, made the trip to Medford looking to find their footing in league play but ran into a St. Mary's side that controlled the match from the opening whistle. The Wolves struggled to generate consistent pressure in the attacking third, while St. Mary's converted opportunities at a steady pace throughout the contest. Illinois Valley now sits at 0-4 in Sunset Conference play as the team works through a challenging early stretch of the schedule. Head coach and players will look to use this week's practices to sharpen their defensive shape and build some momentum before the next opportunity. The Wolves return to action soon, and there is still plenty of season remaining for Illinois Valley to find its stride and compete for results in conference.
