Soccer
The Siuslaw boys soccer team hit the road October 28 for a non-league tune-up against Pacific/Bandon, filling what would have been a two-week gap before the playoffs. The Vikings started slow, struggling to find rhythm in the first half and giving up an own goal on a misplayed pass-back, trailing 1–nil at halftime. Siuslaw came out sharper in the second half, controlling possession and movement. About 15 minutes in, Asher Borgnino knocked in a rebound to tie it up. Borgnino scored again moments later on a cross from Kale Jensen to put the Vikings ahead. Goalkeeper Terrance Masterman preserved the lead with a leaping punch save on a dangerous free kick, and Jensen added a late goal in the closing minute. Siuslaw earns the 3–1 win and a confidence boost heading into postseason play.
