Bend Senior Lava Bears Boys Soccer 4-3 Crook County

Bend Senior boys soccer held on for a hard-fought 4-3 road victory over Crook County on Thursday evening, keeping the Lava Bears unbeaten through five matches this fall. The win moves Bend, Oregon's representative in the Intermountain Conference (5A) to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in league play, a strong early statement in the conference standings. Playing away from home in Prineville, the Lava Bears found themselves in a back-and-forth contest against the Cowboys, with the final margin reflecting just how competitive the matchup was. Scoring four goals on the road against a Crook County side that refused to fold shows a promising offensive punch for Bend Senior, while the defense did enough when it mattered most to preserve the result. The slim one-goal win also serves as a reminder that league road games carry real challenges, even for undefeated teams. Bend Senior will look to carry this momentum forward as Intermountain Conference play continues to heat up in the weeks ahead.
