Columbia Christian Knights Boys Soccer 6-4 Valor Christian

Six goals were enough for Columbia Christian, as the Knights defeated Valor Christian 6-4 Thursday evening in Portland, Oregon, to open Northwest League (2A) boys soccer play with a convincing home win. The result moves Columbia Christian to 2-3 overall and 1-0 in league play, a meaningful turnaround for a squad that entered the match at 1-3 on the season. The high-scoring affair showed an offensive spark that had been difficult to find in the early weeks of the fall campaign, with the Knights finding the net repeatedly against a Valor Christian side that made things competitive throughout. Giving up four goals is not ideal, but the Knights demonstrated enough attacking quality to stay comfortably ahead when it mattered. Thursday's victory gives Columbia Christian a strong foundation to build on as league play gets underway in earnest. The Knights will look to carry that momentum into their next matchup and continue climbing in the Northwest League standings.
