Prep roundup: Shadle Park senior Tess Inman scores game-winning goal in first game at ONE Spokane Stadium

Tess Inman, the lone senior on Shadle Park’s roster, scored the winning goal in the sixth penalty shot after overtime and the Highlanders beat Pullman 2-1 in a Greater Spokane League 2A girls soccer game in the first contest at ONE Spokane Stadium on Thursday.

It was Shadle’s first win of the season to go 1-7 overall and 1-3 in the league. Pullman fell to 3-6-1, 1-3.

“It just means so much because it’s a lot of pressure on me,” Inman said. “To win for my team, it’s great.”

“I feel great for the girls for what it means to them,” Shadle Park coach Marc Mason said. “Some really bad results as well this year for us. It’s kind of development year since we lost eight seniors last year. We’re rebuilding. But what the girls showed today was just phenomenal.”

Shadle Park freshman Peyton Boston became the answer to a trivia question with the first score in the history of the new stadium with her goal in the 19th minute of the first half.

Pullman’s Keely Franklin tied it up just before intermission.

It stayed that way through regulation and five rounds of penalty kicks. Shadle goalie Aurayah Howard made a save on Pullman’s sixth try, then Inman stepped up and drove home the winner.

“It was so exciting,” Inman said. “We have more fans here than we ever have. So, to end in front of them, it’s really special.”

“It’s a fantastic venue,” Mason said. “You know, we’ve been playing at Merkel (Sports Complex), which as a shared field it’s not as special as something like this. So, it’s going to be great for all of our (city) schools. And I can’t wait to begin playing them here.”
