“What a game. Wolves came out to win.”
Providing the opener to a Homecoming doubleheader Friday, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer team lit up Mickey Clark Field, claiming its first home victory of the season.
Sparked by a strong defensive effort, the Wolves overcame several injuries, bouncing visiting Providence Classical Christian 2-1.
The win lifts CHS to 2-4 on the season, with a road trip to defending state champ Orcas Island up next on the schedule.
That game, set for Oct. 3, will be a challenging one, but, for the moment, the Wolves can bask in the glow of victory.
Coupeville coach Jim Kunz praised his team’s sharing of the ball, saying “the passing was on point,” while hailing a couple of emerging younger players for their efforts.
“The team voted Sawyer Rudat MVP for his improvement,” Kunz said. “He fought hard for the ball and made great passes all game.
“I want to acknowledge Mal Chapa for his improvement as well.
“As 8th graders they have been containing and out playing seniors. I’m excited to see this young team playing this well.”
Coupeville’s goals came courtesy Brian Thompson and Sage Arends, who both notched scores for the second straight game.
That pushes Arends to five career goals, while Thompson is hot on his heels, having recorded four tallies during his time in a Wolf uniform.
