Summit secured its second consecutive Intermountain Conference girls soccer title Thursday night, blanking Mountain View 4-0 on the Storm’s home field.

The league crown was anything but a foregone conclusion for the reigning Class 4A state champions, according to Summit coach Jamie Brock.

“Every year’s a different team no matter how many players you have returning,” said Brock. “So you just never know.”

Donnie Emerson seemed fairly certain about what he saw in the Storm.

“Summit’s the best team in the state, in my opinion,” said the Mountain View coach. “We actually played fantastic, but they were just a better team than us today.”

The Storm (7-0-1 IMC, 11-0-2 overall) scored twice in each half, starting in the 33rd minute when Christina Edwards converted on a pass from Hadie Plummer. Two minutes later, Summit made it 2-0 when Megan Buzzas scored on a header off a cross from Marina Johannesen.

Plummer assisted on both Summit goals in the second half, the first by Johannesen and the second by Sofia Ellington in the game’s final moments.

The Storm no doubt would have added to that total if not for the play of Sarah Bailey, the Cougars’ goalie.

“Their keeper was outstanding tonight,” said Brock of Bailey. “She made a lot of saves — big saves.”

Emerson concurred, adding that Mountain View (3-4, 4-8) also got strong play at midfield from Taylor Westover.

“We had some chances,” Emerson said. “We just couldn’t finish today.”

GIRLS SOCCER

Bend 9, Redmond 0: REDMOND — Amidee Colleknon and Hannah Cockrum netted two goals apiece, Tayla Wheeler was credited with two assists, and the Lava Bears cruised to an Intermountain Conference win. Delaney Crook and Holly Froelich each scored once and delivered an assist for Bend (3-1-1 5A IMC, 8-2-2 overall). Jessika Dagostino, Jenny Velasquez and Haley Nichols had one goal apiece. Meagan Bakker contributed with an assist, as did Karah McCulley. Redmond coach John Cripe could not single out just one player during the IMC contest. Instead, he commended the play of all 11 players, who fought through the matchup without any subs available due to injuries. The Panthers fell to 0-6 against 5A IMC teams and 1-10-1 overall.

Junction City 4, La Pine 0: LA PINE — The visiting Tigers scored three goals from long range en route to the Sky-Em League victory over the winless Hawks. Junction City scored two goals in each half, and three came from 30 yards or beyond, according to La Pine coach Scott Winslow. “We had some opportunities too,” Winslow said. “We had six shots on frame, just nothing that went in.” The Hawks dropped to 0-8 in league play, 0-11-1 overall.

Ridgeview 4, Crook County 1: REDMOND — The Cowgirls had a chance to tie things up early in the second half when Adriana Villagomez scored to bring the score to 2-1. But the Ravens responded with two more goals for the Class 4A Special District 1 win. “Last time we played them they beat us 9-0,” Crook County coach Richard Abrams said. “So to go there and do well just shows how much we’ve improved.”

BOYS SOCCER

Summit 4, Mountain View 3: Storm coach Ron Kidder called it a typical matchup against Mountain View, one with high levels of emotion and intensity. And it was Summit coming out on top with three straight goals to erase a 2-1 deficit en route to an Intermountain Conference win. Alex Bowlin finished with two goals for the Storm (6-0 5A IMC, 10-1-2 overall), Cameron Weaver netted a goal off a Cameron Ficher assist, and Tristan Simoneau capped the Storm’s scoring with a goal off a pass from Luca Chiletti. Zach Emerson posted two goals in the first half to give the Cougars (2-3, 4-5-4) a 2-1 halftime lead, and Zel Rey scored off a free kick in the 74th minute with Mountain View trailing 4-2 to provide the final margin.

Redmond 3, Bend JV 3: REDMOND — The Panthers erased a two-goal deficit to even things up 2-2, but the Lava Bears regained the lead in the second half. In the closing minutes of the match, however, Redmond’s Juan Daniel Lopez delivered a strike from about 25 yards out, finding the upper-left corner to salvage the draw. Lopez added an assist, a cross that was headed in by Julian Lane. Ernesto Chavez also scored for the Panthers off a pass from Robert Strickler. Because Redmond played Bend’s junior varsity squad, it was considered a forfeit, dropping the Panthers’ record to 0-6 in the Class 5A Intermountain Conference and 0-13 overall.

Sisters 2, Cottage Grove 0: COTTAGE GROVE — Jake McAllister led the Outlaws with two goals to lead Sisters to a Class 4A Sky-Em League win. McAllister scored in the 13th and 38th minutes, both assisted by Evan Rickards, for the Outlaws (8-0 Sky-Em, 15-4 overall), which claimed the league title with the victory.

Ridgeview 3, Crook County 0: REDMOND — For 90 percent of the season, according to Ravens coach Keith Bleyer, Chase Bennett has basically been a defender. But that did not show against the Cowboys, as the senior recorded a hat trick to lift Ridgeview to a Class 4A Special District 1 win, securing the Ravens at least a play-in game for the 4A state playoffs. Raul Segoviano was credited with two assists, and Nakoda Sanders delivered the other. “We believe our playoff run started today,” Bleyer said, noting the importance of defeating Crook County on Thursday as well as the Ravens’ next matchup against crosstown rival Redmond High on Tuesday, Ridgeview’s senior day. “We might as well make it a win-or-go-home mentality right now.”

Junction City 3, La Pine 0: JUNCTION CITY — The Hawks played relatively even with the Tigers throughout the first half, as La Pine trailed 1-0 heading into the break. Junction City tacked on a pair of goals in the second half, however, to seal the Sky-Em League victory. Sophomore Ian Johnson, usually a midfielder for the Hawks (0-8 Sky-Em, 0-11 overall), filled in for an ill Kevin Ferns in goal. Johnson finished with eight saves, and he and Justin Petz worked well together on the defensive end of the field, according to La Pine coach Sam Ramirez.
