Pirates fall prey to Lions, 3-2 COTTAGE GROVE � Injury-riddle Phoenix suffered its second straight non-league loss to a Sky-Em League opponent Wednesday when Cottage Grove outscored the Pirates, 3-2. The loss dropped the Phoenix girls soccer team to 2-2-1. Phoenix was without two regulars, including senior defender Jessica Prisbrey with the flu and back spasms. Then freshman goalie Kat Cox was injured as Cottage Grove�s Santana Osti scored her second goal with 15 minutes left in the first half. Phoenix got on the scoreboard in the second half when Helen Shorland�s direct kick was headed by Chelsi Clark to Larrisa Wiltrout, who scored. Samantha Stewart extended Cottage Grove�s lead to 3-1 on a penalty kick before Shorland converted a penalty kick for the Pirates. Phoenix outshot the Lions, 28-19, but 14 of Cottage Grove�s attempts came on breakaways.   Obituaries | Sports | Business | Classifieds |  Tempo | Prime Times | So Oregon Sites | Outdoor Journal | Subscribe | Contact | Movies | Advertise | Real Estate Showcase | Archive  | Editorials | Letters to the editor | Religion | Wake-up Call | NIE | Cyber Chef | Job Network | So Oregon Weather | WSJ Northwest | Forums | AP Wire | AP Money | F.A.Q. | Awards Ottaway Newspapers, Inc.
