Elmira Falcons Boys Soccer 1-5 North Bend / Bandon

North Bend/Bandon handed Elmira a 5-1 defeat in Mountain Valley Conference (3A) boys soccer Thursday evening in Elmira, Oregon, as the visitors controlled the match from start to finish. The Elmira squad managed a lone goal on the night but could not contain a North Bend/Bandon attack that found the net five times, making for a difficult evening on the home pitch. The loss drops Elmira to 1-10-1 overall and 0-8 in conference play as the season winds toward its close. With the calendar pushing into October, the Falcons face a narrow window to build on their lone win of the year and finish the campaign on a more competitive note. Thursday's result was a tough one, but the remaining league fixtures give the young squad a chance to sharpen their game and carry some momentum into the offseason. Elmira will look to respond when they return to action later this month.
