There were so many goals, they lost track of who all scored.
But better a win with a slight blip in the stat sheet, than a loss in which no one has to tally up scores.
Emerging from the wilds of Lynnwood Tuesday, the Coupeville High School boys soccer team headed back to Whidbey riding the high of winning a rout.
Pushing Cedar Park Christian around the pitch all afternoon, the Wolves polished off their Northwest 2B/1B League rival 7-0.
The victory lifts Coupeville to 1-0 in conference action, 3-3 overall.
It also sets them up for a key matchup at home Saturday with Mount Vernon Christian (1-1 in league, 4-3-1 overall).
The second half of a doubleheader, action kicks at 3 PM, with the boys tilt following on the heels of a girls rumble between CHS and Crosspoint Academy at 1 PM.
With Cedar Park Christian being a bottom feeder among the nine schools playing boys soccer in the NWL, Coupeville coach Robert Wood shuffled things around a bit.
“Strategic game for us tonight, prepping for MVC this weekend,” he said. “New formation and bench players getting a majority of time, putting starters in support roles, restricting touches and movement.
“All to prepare for the fast, aggressive game MVC will throw at us.”

When it comes to punching the ball into the back of the net, Coupeville was led by Cameron Epp and Cael Wilson, who netted two goals apiece.
Nick Guay and Grant Steller each added a tally, while who scored the seventh goal is anyone’s guess at this moment.
Wilson, Guay, and Steller scored for the first time this season, and Coupeville now has nine booters in the scoring column during the current campaign.
UPDATE: The seventh goal has been found. It came off of the toe of Nick Guay, giving him two scores in the game.
The seventh goal was Nick, he scored twice.
