Mia Littlejohn is on a torrid run these days.

The Coupeville High School junior banged home three more goals Saturday — her second hat trick of the season — lifting the Wolf booters to a 3-0 win at Port Townsend.

That gives Mia nine goals in four games, putting her just one off of little sister Kalia Littlejohn’s single-season school scoring record, and firmly places Coupeville alone atop the 1A Olympic League.

With the win, the Wolves are 2-1-1 overall and a pristine 2-0 in league play, which puts them a half game up on Klahowya (1-0).

Chimacum (0-1) and Port Townsend (0-2) round out the standings.

Coupeville will gets its first crack at the two-time defending league champ Eagles Sept. 27, when it travels to Silverdale to face Klahowya.

Before they get to that, the Wolves have a pair of non-conference games (Sept. 19 at Mount Vernon Christian and Sept. 22 at home against North Mason).

If Mia Littlejohn continues to pepper the net at her current rate — she’s scored in all four games this season — she’ll own the school (and family) scoring mark long before CHS faces its biggest league rival.

Coming off of a late night Friday, with a football game and after-game dance, the Wolf booters came out a bit slow Saturday and went into the locker room facing a scoreless tie.

Whatever was said during the break worked, as Mia Littlejohn broke free in the second half, with two of the goals set up by stellar corner kicks by junior captain Sage Renninger.

Meanwhile, Wolf goalie Lauren Grove and her defense were in lock-down mode all afternoon, refusing to give the RedHawks even a sniff of a goal.
