Fab frosh Tia Wurzrainer recently moved up front, and it paid off against the Cowboys, as she tallied her first two high school goals.
One record tied, another broken.
Raining down destruction on host Chimacum from every angle Tuesday, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad romped to a 7-2 win.
The victory, spurred by a momentous night from Mia Littlejohn, lifts the Wolves to 4-1 in 1A Olympic League play, 6-2-1 overall.
Coupeville trails Klahowya (3-0) by percentage points atop the league standings, while Port Townsend (1-3) and Chimacum (0-4) are fading fast.
The win allows the 2016 Wolves to tie the ’14 and ’15 teams for most victories in a single season in program history.
Barring a colossal collapse, that record should easily fall, as CHS still has seven regular-season games left on its schedule.
Those games, which begin with a non-conference tilt at home against 2A Port Angeles Thursday (5:15 PM) will give Littlejohn a chance to further add to her season goal total, which now stands above any other Wolf to play the sport.
Rattling home goals #20 and #21 against the Cowboys, the reigning WIAA Athlete of the Week tied, then passed, Abraham Leyva for the school’s single-season scoring mark.
Now that Littlejohn has the season mark, the school’s career record is her next target.
The CHS junior has tallied 29 goals in her stellar career, while Leyva notched 45 scores before graduating in June.
Another sharpshooter with her eye on the scoring marks is Mia’s little sister, sophomore Kalia Littlejohn.
The baby of the family torched the nets for two more goals herself Tuesday, giving her six for the season and 16 for her career.
“Kalia finally got the monkey off her back,” said Coupeville coach Troy Cowan. “She has been struggling with her offensive game but I told her to be patient and that she has the greatest foot skills I have ever seen, so use them.
“The second half she started listening, winning possession and scoring goals.”
While the Littlejohns were up to their old ways, two other Wolves scribbled their name into the scoring column for the first time this season.
Senior May Rose connected on one, while freshman Tia Wurzrainer, who has recently moved up the field after playing defense for much of the year, tallied a pair.
“May is a very hard working player and tonight her hard work paid off,” Cowan said.
“Tia should have probably scored four or five, but she is so unselfish,” he added. “I am hoarse from hollering at her! She is a special player and has a bright future with the Wolves.”
The Wolves worked the ball extremely well, with assists on six of the seven scores.
Mia Littlejohn set up a pair, while Sage Renninger, Lauren Bayne, Wurzrainer and Avalon Renninger all put the ball right where their teammates could take advantage.
Cowan praised them all, but saved a few words for his captain.
“Sage is serving the most beautiful balls I have ever seen. I mean she is just dialed in and is electric.”
