Julia Myers was lonely last night, and, in this case, that was a good thing.

The Coupeville High School goalkeeper, helped by a suffocating defense and ball-control offense, touched the ball once in the Wolves’ 3-0 win over Port Townsend Thursday, Oct. 30, at Mickey Clark Field.

The win in the regular season finale earned Coupeville (3-3, 6-6) second place in the Olympic League standings.

It also earned the Wolves a “home” game in the first round of the playoffs Saturday, Nov. 1.

The Olympic League requires teams to use a turf field for the district tournament. Oak Harbor’s stadium was already booked for Saturday, and the closest Coupeville could find for its loser-out game with Vashon Island was Kingston.

The match begins at noon.

Myers, a senior, was more spectator than participant in the win over Port Townsend as the Wolves dominated the action.

After numerous chances, Coupeville finally found the net when Erin Rosenkranz scored with 19 minutes left in the first half. Six minutes later freshman Sage Renninger scored off an assist from Rosenkranz.

Rosenkranz, one of eight seniors playing their final match at Mickey Clark Field, also assisted on senior Marisa Etzell’s second-half goal.

“Best passing and possession match of the year for us,” coach Troy Cowan said. “They really moved the ball well and played a very intelligent match.

“Finishing second is awesome and the entire Coupeville community is proud of our Lady Wolves and the terrific season we had. Not sure I remember when CHS ladies soccer finished with a .500 record.”

Cowan said that even though they won’t be opening the tournament in Coupeville, “We are in the playoffs.”

“I told the girls the first day of tryouts, they were special,” he said. “(I) still feel the same way today, even more.”
