The Lady Bruins will continue their brutal road trips today as they travel to Sutherlin to play the Lady Bulldogs.

The Lady Bruins are coming off of a 2-0 win against the South Umpqua Lady Lancers.

In the game at South Umpqua High School in Myrtle Creek, the Lady Bruin defense held it’s ground once again, with junior keeper Annie Nation recording another shut-out win.

Offensively the Lady Bruins struggled to break free as the Lady Lancers were not surprised by the Lady Bruin speed and have certainly adjusted their defense away from an offside trap at mid-field to counter the Bruin fast break.

The Lady Bruins striker Hannah James #5 scored both of the Lady Bruin goals in the game. Her first goal came off of a shot that the Lady Lancer goalkeeper mishandled after the initial save and ended up over the goal line. James’ second goal came off of a followed shot that deflected off the Sutherlin keeper with just 6:00 minutes left in the game.
