It was a tall challenge.
The Coupeville High School girls soccer squad is a scrappy band of players who never back down from anyone.
But, when the opponent is a blue blood program which boasts multiple state titles and enters play undefeated, life is likely to be tough.
Such was the case Saturday, as the Wolves put out a maximum effort but came up short against visiting Crosspoint Academy.
The Warriors, repping a 1B school, exited Whidbey with a 7-0 win, improving their season mark to 5-0-1, with that tie having come against 2A power North Kitsap.

The loss drops Coupeville to 1-7, though their next game should be a more-competitive affair.
The Wolves travel to La Conner Tuesday, Oct. 11 to face a Braves team which sits at 0-8 on the season.
Coupeville has home and away games with La Conner, as well as road trips to Mount Vernon Christian and Granite Falls left on the schedule.
The Wolves may also pick up a road game at Sultan, if the two schools are able to work around the Turks league schedule, which has been impacted by fire-related weather conditions.
