Enoch too much for Phoenix as North Valley rolls MERLIN - Phoenix knew Malloree Enoch was the player to stop in Saturday's District 6 playoff match against North Valley. But containing the high-scoring senior forward was a different matter. Enoch broke loose for all four goals as North Valley advanced in the playoffs with a 4-2 victory over the Pirates at Knights Stadium. North Valley will play at Henley 3 p.m. Tuesday, with a state post-season berth on the line. "It was the Malloree Enoch show," Phoenix coach John Doty said. "She scored on three breakaways and dribbled through the whole team on another." In North Valley's 3-1 regular-season victory over the Pirates, Enoch scored all three goals. And of the Knights 28 goals this season, Enoch has 21. Enoch opened the scoring at the fifth minute on a left-footed shot on the ground from 12-yards out that deposited inside the far post. Larrisa Wiltrout tied the game for the Pirates on an assist from Helen Shorland at the 11th minute. But Enoch gave North Valley a 2-1 halftime lead when she capitalized on a weak clearance by the Pirates' defense and boomed a shot from 25 yards just underneath the crossbar. Enoch struck again just three minutes into the second period. This time Enoch faked out goalkeeper Jaclyn Unruh and scored from close-in. Unruh was shaken up on the play and was later replaced in net by Kelly Singleton. Enoch completed her prolific offensive performance with a goal at the 62nd minute that put North Valley ahead 4-1. An assist went to North Valley keeper Karyn Allen, who made an outstanding save and then rolled the ball to Enoch, who took it the rest of the way. "She's (Enoch) got a ton of speed, she's got a whole lot of confidence and plays very physical," said Doty. Kim Tiger tallied for the Pirates on an assist from Wiltrout. Tiger's shot at the top of the box was deflected by Allen, but managed to find the net at the 70th minute. "Kim Tiger played her best match of the season," said Doty. "She had some quality shots on goal." But Allen was definitely a difference maker for North Valley. "She (Allen) had a heck of a final 12 minutes," said Doty. "She stopped four shots that against any other goalie in the league would have been goals. "If all we had to cope with was Malloree Enoch, I think we would have won the game," continued Doty. "But Malloree combined with Karyn was enough to get them through."

Rogue River took a 3-2 lead three minutes into overtime on Brazilian exchange student Henrique Penido's goal. Ward scored just before the end of the first of two 10-minute overtime periods to tie the match at 3-all. Penido gave Rogue River the initial lead 23 minutes into the game.
