Lily Leedy led them to the promised land.
The sophomore rattled the net for two goals Thursday, propelling the Coupeville High School JV girls soccer squad to a 5-2 win at Port Townsend.
The non-conference victory is the first W the Wolf booters, varsity or JV, have put up on the board this fall.
Technically, since the RedHawks loaned Coupeville some of their players to make for even sides, with one of the Port Townsend players netting a goal for her “new” team, the match is probably considered as a friendly.
To which I say, tough nuts, a win is a win and we’re calling it an official win.
It’s been a rough season for CHS soccer, at both levels, with the Wolf booters suffering more than their fair share of injuries and close losses.
They need this. They get this.
Leedy was backed up by teammates Samantha Streitler and Katelin McCormick, who each banged home a goal, and the RedHawk who will have to live down scoring against her own school.
Will the mystery Port Townsend player who tallied a goal be invited to the Coupeville banquet and installed as an honorary Wolf?
You never know, but my vote is a yes.
