Season ends now, they’re league champs.
Just sayin’…
Yes, yes, there are still plenty of games to go, and three-time Olympic League champ Klahowya has yet to play a conference tilt, but, for one night at least, Coupeville is on top of the girls soccer world.
Shredding Chimacum’s defense with ease Tuesday, the Wolf booters rolled to a 7-2 road win in their league opener.
Now 2-1 overall, Coupeville split the scoring duties four ways against the Cowboys.
Lindsey Roberts, Kalia Littlejohn and Genna Wright banged home two goals apiece, while Avalon Renninger put the cherry on top with a score of her own.
Littlejohn, who leads the Wolf squad with four goals, has scored in every game this season.
The junior sharpshooter now has 22 tallies in her career, pulling her closer to big sister Mia, who set the program’s scoring record with 35 goals from 2014-2016.
With her own two-goal night, Roberts sits with three scores on the season.
It was the first time Renninger and Wright had found the back of the net, with the latter notching her first official high school goals.
The freshman whiz kid also scored during the season-opening jamboree, but that goal doesn’t count towards her season total.
Coupeville also doled out its assists, with Wright and Sage Renninger each picking up a pair.
Roberts and Littlejohn set up other goals, while one score — off a free kick by Roberts — was unassisted.
With his team kicking off a three-game road trip with the Chimacum game (the Wolves travel to Sequim Thursday and Port Townsend Saturday), CHS coach Kyle Nelson was pleased with much of what he saw.
“We will call it a “taking care of business” type of game,” he said. “Overall we continue to be making progress; our passing game took a nice jump forward as we continue to work on various aspects of our game.
“We also left Chimacum healthy as we start a succession of away games this week,” Nelson added. “Sequim tomorrow should be a good test for us as we continue to look to improve.”
