On Tuesday, October 9th, the boys soccer team traveled to La Salle to take on the undefeated Falcons. Despite of their tremendous effort, the Wildcats were defeated 2-0. When talking to midfielder Matthew Little about the game, he said that he felt like they played well for the whole first half and most of the second half.

Currently La Salle is perched atop the Northwest Oregon Conference standings which inspired the Cats because that is a place they desire to be.
