It’s been a while since Coupeville High School played a competitive soccer game.

But the wait was worth it.

Back in a pitch battle for the first time in 10 days, the Wolves co-ed squad nipped host Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood 1-0 Friday afternoon in their league opener.

The win propels CHS to 1-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-4-1 overall.

Next up is a clash with Grace Academy, also on the road, set for Tuesday, Oct. 15.

The Wolves beat the Eagles 3-1 earlier this season in a game considered a non-league tilt.

Friday’s rumble in Lynnwood was a “scrappy game,” said Coupeville coach Robert Wood.

“Two yellow cards, should have been five.”

The Wolves nabbed the only score of the game thanks to Angel Partida, who was set up by Cael Wilson.

It was Partida’s fifth goal of the season, tying him for the team lead, and sixth of his prep career.
