Parkin, who like teammate Anna Ayres moved up from the junior varsity ranks for the contest, scored in the 60th minute and in the 73rd minute, the second on a give-and-go for a breakaway from Lauren Denholm.
“The team worked hard and had some good possession,” Montesano head coach Mike Malpass said. “We put a lot of pressure on the ball.”
On Tuesday, Montesano (2-0, 6-2-1) hosts Hoquiam.

Emy Walsh converted a Kyra Gallinger throw-in for a 1-0 lead midway through the first half. Abbi Bradt added a goal in the 55th minute on an assist from Tayler Housden.
In the final minutes of the match, Hannah Jacobs scored on a rebound from Mackenzie Arnold’s shot off the Chehalis goalkeeper.
“Our transition from defense to offense was smoother,” AHS head coach Ryan Housden said. “I hope this is a turnaround point for the season. We have a shot at getting into districts and that is what the girls are playing for.”
Coach Housden cited his defense Megan Auld, Taylor Coker, Amanda Bradt and Alex Wilson for their play.
On Tuesday, Aberdeen (1-2, 2-6) hosts league-leading Tumwater.

Ocosta goalkeeper Kristi Raffelson had two saves for the shutout.
Coach King cited his defense — Mercedes Denney, Jennifer Guevara, Abriana Ness, Anna Samuelson — for their play.
