Give credit where credit is due.
The Mount Vernon Christian girls soccer team just had a (pandemic-shortened) season for the ages.
Capping their torrid run with a 6-0 win over Coupeville Friday, the visiting Hurricanes finished with all their zeroes in the right place.
With the victory, MVC put the finishing touches on a 6-0 season in which it outscored its two foes, La Conner and Coupeville, 55-0.
That’s not a misprint.
The Hurricanes rang up 21 goals against the Wolves, winning 9-0, 6-0, and 6-0, while really reaming La Conner.
MVC thunked the Braves 9-0, 14-0, and 11-0, which is beautiful and horrifying in equal measures.
Thanks to their own 4-0 and 6-0 wins over La Conner — a third game was lost to the constant schedule shuffle of the Age of Coronavirus — Coupeville finishes 2-3 and claims second-place in the Northwest 2B/1B League.
Needless to say, La Conner, outscored 44-0 (also not a misprint) finishes last at 0-5, while Friday Harbor took a season off due to Covid concerns.
While the Wolves couldn’t stop MVC, they did slow down the fleet-footed Hurricanes for a chunk of each game.
Friday was no different, as Coupeville, celebrating Senior Night, played their phenomenal foes even for much of the first half.
“We did manage to frustrate them for the first 30 minutes, where we held them,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “But, unfortunately we could not hold them off longer, and tired legs gave way.”
While he’ll lose several players to graduation, headlined by goal-scoring terror Genna Wright and dependable goalkeeper Mollie Bailey, the Wolves can return much of their roster.
“The first half gave promise to things to come in the next season with some more time to work together,” Nelson said.
While Wright’s departure takes away Coupeville’s top goal-scoring threat, the other six players to find the back of the net this season were underclassmen.
Wright, who lost her junior season to injury and saw her senior campaign greatly reduced in size by the pandemic, graduates as the program’s #3 career scorer.
Her 20 goals trails just Mia (35) and Kalia Littlejohn (33).
