Marsh Valley was stifled by Sugar-Salem in a 2-0 road loss Saturday.

The Eagles allowed goals in the middle of the first half and end of the game.

First-year Marsh Valley coach Devin Shurtliff said it is taking time for his team to adjust to his style of play.

“They’ve almost limited themselves because they’re afraid to make a mistake,” Shurtliff said. “They need to let the creativity come naturally.”

Teton beat American Falls 2-0 on Saturday in what Beavers coach Nate Armstrong called a "frustrating" loss.
