The score is tied 2-2. There are seven minutes left in the second half. Sophomore Jessica McMorran passes the ball to junior Katie Flory, who turns and shoots the ball into the goal, giving the Hood River Valley Eagles a 3-2 lead and all but assuring a victory over Mountain View.

Mudballs took the place of fireballs Wednesday at Westside Field as the Hood River Valley softball team lost its home opener, 2-0, to Evergreen High School of Vancouver, Wash.
