Marisa Etzell had the magic foot.

Playing in front of the home fans for the first time this season, the Coupeville High School junior punched in the Wolves first goal of the 2013 campaign Tuesday night.

After playing on the defensive line last season, the fleet-footed Etzell has moved up the field and immediately showed off her offensive skills.

It wasn’t quite enough, however, as visiting Cedarcrest stormed back with a barrage of second-half goals to down Coupeville 4-1.

Now 0-2 overall, 0-1 in Cascade Conference play, the Wolves will get another crack at a home match when they host Lakewood Thursday, Sept. 19 at 6 PM.

Cedarcrest, one of the biggest 2A schools in the 1A/2A league, got an early surprise from the smallest 1A school when Etzell beat the Red Wolf goalie in the 22nd minute.

Coupeville made it stand up until halftime, before Cedarcrest responded with second-half scores from Nicole Vanderwal, Kassandra Mora-Villalobos, Meghan Rodger and Brielle Rhode.
