Molalla Indians Boys Soccer 1-2 North Marion

North Marion handed Molalla a 2-1 defeat in Tri-Valley Conference (4A) boys soccer on Tuesday evening in Molalla, Oregon, a result that stings for a Dragons squad still fighting for postseason positioning. Playing at home, Molalla battled to within one goal but could not find the equalizer, dropping a conference match that carries real weight in the standings. The lone Molalla goal kept things close, showing the Dragons have the ability to compete with league opponents, but North Marion's two-goal output proved to be the difference. With the loss, Molalla falls to 5-4-1 overall and sits at 2-2 in conference play, putting them in a position where every remaining league game matters. The Dragons entered the night at 5-3-1, so the margin for error in the Tri-Valley race is tightening. Molalla will need a strong response in their next outing as the playoff picture begins to come into sharper focus down the stretch of the fall season.
