SHORELINE—Siena Helland scored the lone goal of Shorewood’s Wesco 3A clash with Stanwood on Thursday night in the 54th minute, lifting the Thunderbirds to an important victory at Shoreline Stadium.
Morgan McFarland set up the goal by dribbling past a pair of Spartan defenders and dishing off to Elise Rosenfeld, who one-timed a pass to Helland for the strike.
The Thunderbirds kept a powerful Stanwood offense off the scoreboard on Thursday, as Ashley Garay recorded the clean sheet in the Shorewood goal.
“We knew going in that Stanwood is having an excellent season and is well-coached. We knew we could not have any letdowns, or they would find net,” Shorewood coach Bill Wilkins said. “We did not allow many chances, but (Stanwood) had a couple of very dangerous opportunities that we were fortunate to stop.”
The victory propelled Shorewood (6-1-2, 7-4-2) higher up the Wesco 3A table.
“The longterm goal is the play our best soccer in November,” Wilkins said.
