Soccer’s slide continues

South Whidbey was once again shut out after a 1-0 girls soccer match loss to Lakewood on Tuesday.

South Whidbey was once again shut out after a 1-0 girls soccer match loss to Lakewood on Tuesday.

The Falcons (0-7-0 Cascade Conference; 0-8-0 overall) have failed to score in five straight contests, while their dinged-up defense has allowed 22 goals in that same stretch.

South Whidbey’s sour streak continued Thursday in a 1A league match against Sultan, losing 4-1.

At the midseason point, South Whidbey will need dramatic changes to make a run at the district playoffs. The Falcons face both the Cedar Park Christian Eagles and the Granite Falls Tigers on the road next week.
