Seaside girls soccer stopped their losing skid at three games after a 2-2 draw away against St. Helens on Oct. 24. After losing to the Lions 2-0 at Broadway Field, Seaside went home with a positive result in the rematch.

The bright spots came after a clean sweep for Astoria High School soccer in the Clatsop Clash on Oct. 22. Both the boys and girls teams traded 1-0 victories over their rival Seaside at Broadway Field.

The Astoria girls completed a two-game season sweep of their Cowapa League rivals behind a first-half goal from freshman Cadence Sopko. Seaside had chances and very nearly tied things at one with about six minutes left in the game as they had a shot hit off the cross bar.

After losing the season series last year, Astoria returned the favor to keep their great year going.

As for the boys, Astoria got revenge on Seaside after losing 2-0 earlier in October.

Not only was this round two of the Clatsop Clash, but it was also Seaside’s senior night. Behind a penalty kick goal from Edwuard Lepe Ramirez and stout defense, the Fishermen spoiled their rivals night and extended Seaside’s losing streak to four games.

Seaside volleyball finishes season winless

Though Seaside High School volleyball finished the season 0-20, it doesn’t mean the Seagulls didn’t gain experience throughout.

Seaside entered the 2024 season with six freshmen, one sophomore and just three seniors, so it was always going to be a rebuilding year for the program. Though the Seagulls would have loved to win a game for the seniors, the future looks bright as the program has a lot of freshmen and sophomores waiting to take over in the coming years.
