The undefeated season is gone.

Playing on a cold, damp hunk of pitch Friday, the Coupeville High School boys soccer squad fell 3-1 to visiting Sequim, giving the Wolves their first loss of the season.

The non-conference defeat, coming at the hands of a 2A school, evened Coupeville’s season record at 1-1-1.

The Wolves, who have played two of three against big school competition so far, travel to the wilds of Forks Tuesday, then return home to face yet another 2A school in North Mason next Friday.

After that they return to 1A Olympic League play, where they currently sit in a first-place tie with Klahowya, each team owning a spotless 1-0 conference mark.

Coupeville’s lone goal against Sequim came courtesy of junior captain William Nelson, who connected for the second time this season.

He sits one score off of team-leader Ethan Spark, who has tallied three of his team’s seven goals.

Nelson’s score came off of a corner kick, which he bent like Beckham, sending the ball past the flailing Sequim goalie.

He came close to replicating the score shortly afterwards, only to have a defender head the ball just clear of the back post.

While Coupeville had issues with Sequim’s speed (and the constant wind), CHS coach Kyle Nelson came away with a fair amount of positives.

“It was a good game for us to get experience playing against some fast and talented soccer players.”

“We couldn’t get the bats working”

Seven steps forward, one step backward.

A game after they clinched their first league title in 25 years, the Coupeville High School baseball squad came out a bit flat Monday afternoon.

Call it a hangover loss.

Unable to generate much offense, the Wolves fell 3-0 at Chimacum, taking their first league defeat under first-year head coach Marc Aparicio.

Now 7-1 in the 1A Olympic League, 10-9 overall, CHS will wrap its regular season with a home game against Klahowya Wednesday.

Win or lose, the Wolves open district play May 10 at Curtis High School.

They’ll also play May 12 and possibly May 14 and will need two wins to advance to state.

Facing off with a foe they had beaten by a single run in each of their first two meetings, Coupeville got stung early Monday.

Chimacum plated all three of its runs in the first inning, using a couple of singles and two Wolf errors to do their damage.

It was the only time all afternoon the Cowboys had much going at the plate, but it turned out to be enough, as Coupeville struggled offensively.

“We played well, but couldn’t get the bats working,” Aparicio said.

Coupeville went down in order three times, and only managed to get more than one runner on in the same inning twice in the game.

Singles from CJ Smith and Cole Payne in the first went for naught, while a brief fourth inning rally sputtered out as quickly as it began.
