Mother Nature had a big night on Thursday, wreaking havoc on local prep sporting events by causing delays and shortening games.

Here’s a wrap-up of a wet and wild evening of Twin Harbors sports.

GIRLS PREP SOCCER

Ocosta 3, Forks 0

The Ocosta Wildcats extended their dominance over the Forks Spartans, winning 3-0 in a game that was cut short due to lightning strikes.

Ocosta scored three goals in the first half and got a clean sheet by goalkeeper Devyn Martin to win its 23rd consecutive match over Forks on Thursday at Ocosta High School.

The Wildcats (1-1 overall) struck first when Miki Ness netted a goal off an assist from Jennifer Rosas in the 23rd minute.

Up 1-0 with nine minutes to go until halftime, the game was delayed for 49 minutes due to lightning.

When play resumed in a heavy downpour, Ocosta put on a lightning display of its own. The Wildcats doubled its lead in the 36th minute when Ness tallied her second goal of the day on a breakaway followed by a Liveah Bartley goal off a Ness rebound that made it a 3-0 game heading into halftime.

With the two teams ready to take the field for the second half, lightning appeared again and the game was called due to safety concerns.

“We were able to keep a clean sheet despite the fact that Forks had strong winds at their back in the first half,” Ocosta head coach Mike King said. “Our defense was much improved over Tuesday (night’s loss to South Bend) despite missing two starters. Our freshmen really stepped up tonight.”

Martin recorded her first shutout in goal, making three saves that included stuffing a breakaway attempt.

Ocosta hosts Adna at noon Saturday.

North Thurston 3, Aberdeen 0

After lightning caused a 45-minute delay to the start of the game, the Aberdeen Bobcats lost 3-0 to the North Thurston Rams on Thursday at Stewart Field in Aberdeen.

The Rams led 1-0 at the half and scored two goals over the final 40 minutes to pick up the shutout victory over the Bobcats (1-1).

Logan Glanz, Madi Gore and Emma Green were noted by Bobcats head coach Larry Fleming as having solid games.

“It was a good team effort for our girls against a very strong team,” Fleming said. “When our first touch and passing accuracy improve, we will be a pretty solid team.”

Aberdeen takes on Hoquiam at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Olympic Stadium.

Aberdeen’s junior varsity team earned a 2-2 tie against North Thurston’s JV squad. Kalia Hogarty and Rylie Waltee scored goals for the Bobcats.

North Thurston 1 2 — 3

Aberdeen 0 0 — 0

Elma 2 Rochester 0

Elma used a pair of second-half goals from Kayli Johnson and Jillian Bieker to pick up its first win of the season with a 2-0 road victory over Rochester on Thursday.

Elma (1-1) and Rochester (1-1) went to the locker room in a scoreless tie at halftime, but after a foul was called in the box, Johnson scored on a penalty kick in the 60th minute.

The Eagles picked up an insurance goal in the 70th minute when Bieker corralled a loose ball at the right outside edge of the box and beat Rochester keeper Madison Bates with a shot to the far post to make it a 2-0 margin.

Elma goalkeeper Paige Knutson had to make just one save the entire match.

Eagles head coach Evan Valentine said the defensive mindset he’s emphasized in practice is starting to pay dividends.

“One of my philosophies is that everyone plays defense. We’ve worked hard on it at practice, and it shows on the field,” he said. “We’re not allowing shots on goal and our 1-on-1 defending has improved this year.”

Elma will be back in action against Shelton with a home match against scheduled for noon today.

Hoquiam 1, Centralia 0

In a game shortened to 60 minutes due to a 40-minute lightning delay, the Hoquiam Grizzlies earned a 1-0 victory over Centralia on Thursday at Olympic Stadium.

In a close, hard-fought game that saw both teams have scoring opportunities thwarted, Sadie Carlyle was fouled inside the goal box in the 45th minute to give Hoquiam (2-0) a penalty kick.

Taylor Strom converted the PK to score the lone goal of the match.

Hoquiam hosts Aberdeen at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at Olympic Stadium.

The Eagles (2-0) lost the first set 25-19 before rallying to win the next three sets by scores of 25-19, 25-20 and 25-20.

Quin Mikel and Jalyn Sackrider both had big games striking the ball off feeds from Ella Moore. Mikel had a game-high 27 kills from her outside hitter position while Sackrider added 14 kills. Moore totalled 40 assists on the evening.

“We started slow and then we just picked up our energy and started playing our game,” Elma head coach Kendra Henry said. “Black Hills was very scrappy to start but we stayed with it.”

Next up for the Eagles is a game at Castle Rock at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

Toledo 3, Hoquiam 1

Hoquiam is still searching for its first win of the season after suffering a 3-1 loss at Toledo on Thursday.

Toledo (1-0) won the match 25-16, 22-25, 25-7 and 25-17 to put the Grizzlies at 0-2 on the season.

Hoquiam got a solid performance from Carysn Munger with a team-leading 10 kills.

Maggie Mazariegos recorded 16 assists for the Grizzlies.

Hoquiam head coach Heather Bozich said her team will take the next step once players get comfortable handling the opposition’s service game.

“We are still really struggling with serve reception, but we did some good things tonight,” she said. “The more we play, the better we’re getting so it’s just a matter of time before things click for this team.”
