Lindsey Roberts also found the back of the net against Port Townsend, scoring for the 17th time in her stellar career.
Let the goals flow.
With sophomore sensation Genna Wright banging home a hat trick Thursday night, the Coupeville High School girls soccer squad turned its offense back on in a big way, snapping two dry spells at once.
Romping to a 5-0 non-conference win over visiting Port Townsend, the Wolves ended a six-game losing streak which stretched back three weeks.
It also signaled a major turn for the positive for a pitch squad which has been putting up strong shots, only to watch them narrowly miss time after time.
CHS had tallied just two goals during its losing skid, suffering four shut-outs during that run.
That changed Thursday, as the Wolves lifted their season mark to 2-8-1.
Wright tossed in three goals, giving her a team-high five for the season.
With 15 scores in less than two full seasons of play, the Wolf ace is almost halfway to Mia Littlejohn’s program record of 35 goals.
Thursday, she was joined by junior forward Anna Dion, who scored her first goal of the season, and senior midfielder Lindsey Roberts, who notched her fourth tally of 2018.
Roberts has 17 goals for her career, keeping her slightly ahead of the fast-charging Wright on the Wolf career scoring chart.
Coupeville has a prime opportunity to keep the offense flowing, and possibly start its first winning streak of the season.
After a couple days off, the Wolves head to the wilds of Sultan Tuesday, Oct. 9 to face a Turks team it throttled 6-0 the first time around.
That clash kicks off the final stretch of the regular season for CHS, which then plays Cedar Park Christian and South Whidbey at home, before closing league play on the road at Granite Falls Oct. 17.
Postseason brackets are expected to be revealed in the next day or two, but it seems likely five of the six North Sound Conference teams will advance to the modified double-elimination playoffs.
At 1-5 in league play, Coupeville currently sits in fifth-place, a game up on Sultan (0-6) and two back of Cedar Park Christian (3-3).
