Well, that didn’t go quite the way everyone expected.
After four years of drilling Chimacum on the soccer pitch during their Olympic League days, Saturday’s non-conference tilt seemed like a good bet to land in the win column for Coupeville.
But it wasn’t to be.
Shocking the world, the host Cowboys snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Wolves, dismantling the visitors 5-0.
The unexpected loss, a complete reversal from a well-executed win Thursday against Sultan, drops the Wolves to 1-3-1 on the season.
From 2014 to 2017, Coupeville’s female booters swept every game they played against Chimacum, outscoring the Cowboys 35-9.
The contests in that series played out one of two ways, with five games decided by a single goal and five decided by five or more goals.
Saturday’s bout joined the list of blowouts, just with the wrong team dominating.
It was the third time in five games Coupeville has been shut out this season.
The Wolves, who sit at 1-1 in North Sound Conference play, return to action next Tuesday, Sept. 18, when they travel to Bothell to face Cedar Park Christian (3-2, 1-1).
The loss at Chimacum marked the start of four straight road games for CHS, which doesn’t play at home again until Sept. 27.
