Brookings-Harbor handed the Sutherlin girls soccer team a 3-1 defeat Thursday evening, opening Far West League (3A) play on a tough note for the Bulldogs in Sutherlin, Oregon. The visiting Wolverines controlled much of the match, finishing the night with a convincing three-goal advantage that drops Sutherlin to 3-2 overall and 0-1 in league play. Sutherlin had entered the contest riding momentum from a strong early-season showing, going 3-1 before Thursday's opener on the league schedule. The Bulldogs did find the net once, showing they can still generate offense against quality Far West League competition, but Brookings-Harbor's ability to convert on their chances proved to be the difference.
