Pitch action was on tap Saturday, but with a twist.

Taking a break from regular games, the three Northwest 2B/1B League schools currently playing girls soccer gathered in Mount Vernon for a 3 v 3 tourney.

Splitting his available players into two teams, Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson had a chance to see his players prosper in a different environment.

“A decent day. Back to more typical soccer weather,” he said. “It was a good day to get everyone some time out on the field.”

Both of Coupeville’s teams split a pair of games in group play, then advanced to face each other in the knockout round.

After the “red” team won the inter-team tussle, the winning Wolves faced off with top-seeded Mount Vernon Christian in the semifinals.

While CHS fell 5-2 in that game, “they gave MVC a competitive game,” Nelson said.

Coupeville’s “red” team consisted of Lily Leedy, Ava Mitten, Sophie Martin, Audrianna Shaw, and Camryn Clark.

The Wolves (1-1 on the season) return to regular game play next week, traveling back to Mount Vernon Wednesday, April 28 to face off with the Hurricanes, who sit atop the NWL standings.
