The leg that launches. Wolf defender Lindsey Roberts lets rip.

Lauren Bayne directs traffic (and the soccer ball).

   Nothing gets by her. Senior defender Megan DePorter keeps the ball away from her goal.

This is shaping up to be the most successful season in the relatively short history of Coupeville High School’s girls soccer program.

The Wolves have already tied their record for most wins in a single season, their leader has exploded the school’s scoring record, and, even when they lose, they stay close.

Thursday night provided Coupeville with one of those rare losses, as it fell to visiting Port Angeles 3-1 on a rain-streaked night.

The non-conference defeat, coming to a large 2A school, drops the small-school 1A Wolves to 6-3-1 on the season.

Two of their losses have come to 2A schools, while the other one was a narrow defeat to perennial 1A state title contender Klahowya.

Coupeville gets a chance to avenge one of those vanquishings when it travels to Sequim Tuesday, Oct. 11 for a non-conference bout.

Facing off with a strong Rough Rider squad, the Wolves were stung by junior Emily Boyd, who tallied two goals.

She opened the scoring in the game’s 15th minute, then tacked on another at the 35-minute mark.

In between, Taylar Clark punched another goal in for Port Angeles, as the Rough Riders built an insurmountable lead.

Coupeville avoided the shutout when sophomore Kalia Littlejohn beat the defense in the 44th minute for her seventh goal of the season.

The score was set up by Mia Littlejohn.
