It was closer, but not close enough.
Playing with an aggressive defense (Ivy Luvera sacrificed her noggin to deflect one shot on goal), strong goal-tending from McKayla Bailey and a couple of nice runs at the goal from Makana Stone, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad stayed within shouting distance of host Granite Falls Thursday, but wasn’t able to nab its first win of the season.
Marissa Hutchinson, Kaila Green and Courtney Leofshe all slipped in goals as the Tigers nipped the Wolves 3-0. Two of the scores came in the game’s waning moments.
The loss dropped Coupeville to 0-8 overall, 0-6 in Cascade Conference play, with powerhouse King’s coming to the Island Saturday for a 2 PM game.
