Forward progress.

It didn’t get the win it wanted, falling 3-2 in overtime to visiting Cascade Christian Wednesday, but the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad did break through.

Junior Abraham Leyva punched in a pair of first-half goals to snap a scoreless streak that had plagued the Wolves through the first three games of the season.

Unfortunately, CHS couldn’t make a 2-1 halftime lead hold up and fell to 0-4 in non-conference play.

The deciding goal came with about a minute left to play in the overtime period.

While the loss stung, the progress in all aspects of the game cheered CHS coach Kyle Nelson.

“The boys continue to improve,” he said. “Our defensive effort and passing game was much better.

“We will continue to work hard in practice and look to get our first victory Saturday.”

The Wolves return to action with a home game against Forks that day.

In a reversal of the normal order, varsity plays first at 1 PM, followed by the JV at 3.
