Franklin Lightning Boys Soccer 1-2 Roosevelt

Roosevelt handed Franklin a 2-1 defeat in a 6A-1 Portland Interscholastic League boys soccer match played Tuesday evening in Portland, Oregon. The Quakers could not overcome a two-goal effort from the host Roughriders, dropping a road contest that carried real weight in the league standings. Franklin managed to put one goal on the board but was unable to find the equalizer, leaving Roosevelt with the full three points. The loss moves Franklin to 8-5-1 overall and 2-4 in conference play, a record that puts the Quakers in a difficult position with the postseason window narrowing. Road games in the PIL are always a challenge, and Tuesday's result is a reminder of how fine the margins are in 6A competition. Franklin will need a strong finish to the regular season to improve its standing and keep its playoff hopes alive. The Quakers return to action later this week, looking to respond and string together the results they need down the stretch.
