North and Central united to knock off South.
Sparked by its Coupeville mercenaries, the North Whidbey Islanders Boys FC-01 soccer squad ran out to a big lead Wednesday, then held on in the waning moments to edge host South Whidbey 3-2.
Matthew Kelley punched in the game’s first goal, on a shot into the corner of the net from 10 yards out, and he and fellow CMS booters Aram Leyva and Jake Mitten kept up the pressure all game.
The Islanders rolled out to a 3-0 lead at the half, then gave up two goals in the final four minutes of the game to make the final score seem a little closer than it really was.
With the win, North Whidbey improved to 4-1 in league play. It closes regular season play with a game at Marysville this weekend.
