Estacada Rangers Boys Soccer 3-5 Madras

Madras pulled away with a 5-3 victory over Estacada in boys soccer Thursday evening, handing the Rangers a tough loss on their home pitch in Estacada, Oregon. The game served as Estacada's Tri-Valley Conference (4A) opener, and the Rangers were unable to find the defensive consistency needed to slow a persistent Madras attack. Estacada did show some offensive life, finding the net three times, but conceding five goals proved too large a deficit to overcome. The Rangers drop to 1-5 overall and 0-1 in conference play with the result. While the scoreline was discouraging, the three goals scored reflect a group that can generate chances, and closing the gap defensively will be the focus heading into the next stretch of league games. Estacada will look to regroup quickly and pick up its first conference win as the Tri-Valley schedule continues to take shape in the coming weeks.
