All the ferry rides and long trips and getting up to leave the Island at 3:30 AM paid off.

Coupeville’s Mia and Kalia Littlejohn are coming back home as champions.

The duo and their teammates on the NWU U15 Premier girls soccer squad captured a State Cup title Sunday, bouncing FC Spokane 3-0 to claim the Silver division.

The Littlejohns and Oak Harbor’s Malia Hansen comprise the Whidbey contingent on the select squad.

NWU romped through the State Cup, outscoring four foes by a score of 14-1.

It opened with a 6-0 win, then ran up scores of 3-0, 2-1 and 3-0 en route to the title.

The celebration was a brief one however, as the Littlejohn sisters took off after the soccer game to go play select basketball.

Mia, a freshman at Coupeville High School, and Kalia, an 8th grader, are guest players with Washington Elite Blue Ice, who are playing in a weekend hoops tourney.
