Saturday's report GIRLS SOCCER Camas defeated Auburn Mountainview 1-0, on a goal by Janae Benson with less than 20 minutes to go. Sixty minutes of soccer settled nothing. Then, the Papermakers kicked the intensity up a notch. After having one corner kick from the left deflected out of bounds, Camas set up another from the right. The corner from Adrienne Engel appeared to be one its way out again, but Annike Sumpter kept the ball in play and passed it back to Sara Slayton in the left corner. Slayton's first thought was to shoot the ball, but Sumpter shouted "cross" and Kailee Esser yelled "drop." Slayton fed Esser because she had a better angle. Esser had an open window for a shot that she could not see. The ball darted across the goal line and deflected off of the far goal post back into play. Benson made the right read and blasted the ball into the left corner of the net for a huge goal. The whole team rushed to hug Benson and Esser, and then finished the game strong. The Papermakers are on their way back to state. They will host Juanita of Kirkland in the first round Wednesday, at Doc Harris Stadium.
