BEAVERTON — Thanks in part to 13 goals and six assists from sophomore Alysha Bush, Newberg cruised to wins over Hillsboro, Forest Grove and Southridge this week.

In addition to Bush’s three goals, two assists and five steals Thursday, the Tigers got five goals and two helpers from Cassie Beecher in a 12-1 win over the Skyhawks.

Alexis Vargas added three goals and Kylie Dunn scored once for Newberg, which also got 12 blocks and seven steals from goalie Meghan O’Halloran.

Bush scored five goals and assisted on two others Wednesday in a 16-3 win over Forest Grove that also saw Vargas, Beecher, Dunn, Clara Pugsley and Elizabeth Kaufman score two goals apiece.

O’Halloran made six blocks and allowed no goals in three quarters of work in goal.

Bush tallied five goals with two assists and three steals Monday to lead the Tigers past Hillsboro 12-2. Vargas added three scores and an assist and Beecher had two goals and two helpers to go along with a team-high five steals.

Kylie Dunn scored once and O’Halloran had a goal to go along with her eight blocked shots in three quarters of work in net, with Clara Pugsley filling in to play the fourth.

Newberg will be at home for a game versus Lakeridge on Monday before traveling Wednesday to Tigard.
