Coupeville thumps Friday Harbor 13-1
Geoff Wacker scored four goals and Mitch Stevenson had three as the Coupeville High School soccer team pounded Friday Harbor 13-1 in a Tuesday non-league match at Mickey Clark Field.
“Our offense really got going and our passing was good,” coach Paul Mendes said. “I was pleased with the possession game we played and our defense held up well.”
Mendes said he took Wacker out of the game with about 30 minutes to go and he probably could have scored more goals.
Tony Sherman scored a pair of goals for the Wolf Pack and teammates Ben Hayes, Spencer Tack, and Jordan Lamb had one goal apiece.
“We know we are going to be challenged in league games and it’s going to be tougher, but this was certainly a good start for us,” Mendes said.
