Claim the wind, claim the game.
Playing with the Whidbey wind at its back in the first half Friday, the Coupeville High School boys soccer squad built a 4-0 lead, then coasted home for a 5-3 win over visiting 2A North Mason.
The non-conference win evened Coupeville’s record at 2-2-1 on the season.
The Wolves put their 1-0 record in Olympic League play on the line the next two games, when they travel to Klahowya Tuesday, Mar. 28, before returning home to host Port Townsend Friday, Mar. 31.
Eight of their next 10 games are league affairs.
Coupeville spread out its scoring Friday, with four booters hitting pay-dirt.
Freshman phenom Aram Leyva torched the North Mason goaltender twice, while Ethan Spark, Uriel Liquidano and Zack Nall all had the magic touch as well.
Spark leads the Wolves with five goals this season, with Leyva hot on his heels with three.
Walter Sebastian-Montejo, Chris Ramsey and Brock Mullins tallied goals for the visitors.
“North Mason did make it interesting late in the game, but the boys held steady,” said Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson. “A good tough, physical win for us.”
JV edged:
Freshman Mason Grove found the back of the net for Coupeville, but North Mason escaped with a narrow 2-1 win.
