Every game a lesson.
The final score wasn’t what they were hoping for Wednesday, but there are better days ahead for the Coupeville Middle School boys soccer team.
For one thing, the Wolves, now 1-3 after taking a 7-0 loss at Northshore Christian Academy, get to stay home for a bit.
Coming off of a three-game road trip, CMS now gets three straight home games.
The Wolves host Lakewood (Oct. 7), Granite Falls (Oct. 9), and get another crack at Northshore (Oct. 14).
Wedneday’s match-up pitted Coupeville against the best team in their four-school conference, and it made for an uphill battle.
“We played a tough team,” CMS coach Reese Cernick said. “We need to work on getting to the ball first.
“(Goalies) William (Davidson) and Zane (Oldenstadt) saved plenty of goals, but could not block them all,” he added. “Our back line was under constant bombardment as Northshore’s offense was dominating.”
The Wolves managed to put together a couple of runs at the goal, but couldn’t get the soccer gods to smile on any of their shots.
While he would have liked a score or two, Cernick praised the play of his offense.
“I felt our passing in the second half was a bit better,” he said. “We were more aggressive in the second half as well.
“I look forward to playing them again because they are a worthy opponent.”
