Elmira Falcons Girls Soccer 1-0 South Umpqua / Riddle

A hard-fought 1-0 road win gave Elmira its first victory of the girls soccer season Tuesday night, as the Falcons traveled to face South Umpqua/Riddle in Mountain Valley Conference (3A) play. Elmira, based in Elmira, Oregon, picked up the shutout result on the road, a welcome breakthrough for a squad searching for its footing through the early weeks of the fall campaign. The lone goal proved to be enough as the Falcons defense held firm throughout, keeping South Umpqua/Riddle off the scoreboard and securing the clean sheet. The result moves Elmira to 1-5 overall and 1-3 in conference play, giving the program something tangible to build on as the Mountain Valley Conference schedule continues. After a tough start to the season, picking up points on an opponent's field carries extra weight for a young group still finding its rhythm. Elmira will look to carry that momentum into its next conference matchup.
