The goals just aren’t showing up.

Shut out for the seventh time this season, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer team fell 5-0 at Cedarcrest Tuesday night, sending the Wolves to their fourth straight loss.

Having played five of its last six games on the road, Coupeville (1-8 overall, 1-7 in Cascade Conference play) gets to return home for a stretch now. The Wolves host three straight and five of their final seven, starting with Granite Falls Thursday and Concrete Saturday.

Playing in Duvall against a tough Red Wolf squad, which improved to 6-4, 6-2, Coupeville couldn’t stop Rebakah Gagnon. She punched home two goals to pace Cedarcrest, while Madeline Wheir added two assists.

Sydney Kuehn, Olivia May and Brielle Rhode rounded out the scorers, with Kuehn and Megan Rodger notching an assist apiece.

An undermanned Wolf squad — it was missing three starters due to injuries — held Cedarcrest to just a 1-0 lead at the half. But, with only 12 girls available, Coupeville was worn down in the second half physically and finally broke.

“I was proud of the 12 who matched a talented team’s energy and intensity for as long as they possibly could,” said Coupeville coach Troy Cowan. “But not many teams could have withstood the onrush that we faced!”

He singled out three players for their play, though stressed that all 12 had no quit in them all night long. He also praised a band of family and friends who traveled to Duvall to watch their girls play.

“Makana Stone continues to play hard and impress and Tori Wellman finally made the impact we have been waiting for,” Cowan said. “Tori found another gear last night and shut down the right side of the field and played some impressive defense.

“Also, May Rose played awesome,” he added. “Providing constant pressure and playing to her potential. She was flying all over the field tonight like a crazed dog!!! It was a lot of fun watching her on the pitch.”
