Gladstone Gladiators Girls Soccer 0-1 Estacada

Estacada handed Gladstone a 1-0 defeat in girls soccer Friday night, leaving the Gladiators on the wrong side of a tight Tri-Valley Conference result at home in Gladstone, Oregon. The single goal was enough for the visiting Rangers to walk away with all three points in the 4A-2 Tri-Valley Conference matchup. Gladstone was unable to find an answer in what was a low-scoring, defensively contested affair, as the Gladiators were shut out for the final score. The loss drops Gladstone to 7-7-1 overall and 4-6 in conference play, a tough pill to swallow in the back half of the season when every league result carries real weight in the standings. The Gladiators will need to regroup quickly and sharpen their finishing if they hope to close the season on a stronger note. Gladstone's next opportunity to get back in the win column will be critical for the program's postseason positioning.
