Kyra Lee handled the scoring for Seaton in their first game of the season.

“Seaton has a few players that are brand new to soccer,” said Sonics’ head coach Sarah Kwantes. “The knowledgeable players really stepped up to help mentor the new players.”

Megan Prentice and Valentina Correale scored for the Panthers in the opening half, while Danika Seed replied for Pleasant Valley.

Brittany Skrenek recorded the shutout with some stellar diving saves as the game was winding down.

“We had a great all-around team effort with exceptional defensive play by Carlee Meausette, Madison Catt, Sarah Orr and Ashley Glinsbockel,” said Maroons’ coach Sharon Shaigec.

Next game for the Maroons is Wednesday against Seaton (3:40 p.m., Marshall Field). VSS hosts the Revelstoke Rams the same day, also at Marshall.
