Thurston Colts Boys Soccer 3-6 South Albany

South Albany handed Thurston a 6-3 defeat in boys soccer on Thursday, October 1, as the Colts traveled north for a non-league road contest. Thurston, Springfield's Midwestern League (5A) program, played away from home and could not contain a high-scoring South Albany side that found the net six times on the evening. The loss drops Thurston to 3-5 on the season, a difficult stretch that reflects the competitive nature of the fall schedule outside league play. With the Midwestern League schedule carrying significant weight for postseason positioning, non-league results like this one offer valuable experience against unfamiliar opponents, even when they sting. Thurston's offense showed some life with three goals of their own, a reminder that scoring potential remains in this group. The Colts will look to regroup and carry that offensive energy into upcoming league action, where every result directly impacts their playoff standing. Thurston's next opportunity to turn things around comes soon.
