They’ve never seen anything like this before in Coupeville High School soccer history.

Girls or boys.

Freshman goaltender Finley Helm moved out into the field for part of Saturday’s game in Port Townsend and became the 16th Wolf girl to score this season.

That helped CHS eke out a hard-fought 2-2 non-conference tie with host East Jefferson, which is a mashup of Chimacum and Port Townsend players.

The draw leaves Coupeville at 6-5-3 heading into the regular season finale at home Thursday, October 29 against Northwest 2B/1B League rival Friday Harbor.

Kickoff for the free-admission rumble is set for 4:00 PM at Mickey Clark Field, and since the Wolves have no 12th graders on their roster, they are inviting local senior citizens to attend and be honored on Senior Night.

For those who show up, they’ll see a band of pitch warriors who have achieved something never before done in Coupeville soccer history.

When Helm scored, notching her first goal of the season and second of her prep career, she made sure every girl on the 2026 roster will finish with a score.

With 16 players combining for 32 goals, the Wolves also break a tie with the 2004 CHS boys’ squad, which saw 15 players hit the back of the net.

The previous single-season high for a Coupeville girls’ team was nine scorers, achieved in 2015 and 2017.

Lucy Schisel (12) is making a sizable impact on the soccer pitch.

Saturday’s other goal came courtesy rampaging 8th grader Lucy Schisel, who knocked in her team-leading sixth score.

With Helm playing the field in the first half, the Wolves used Bella Sandlin and Lyla Grose in the net, before Helm returned to netminder duties after the halftime break.

Season scoring stats through October 24:

Lucy Schisel – 6

Hazel Goldman – 4

Lyla Grose – 3

Ariella Lee-Spaulding – 3

Tamsin Ward – 3

Olivia Hall – 2

Lillian Ketterling – 2

The playoff dream lives for at least another week.

Holding off pesky La Conner 3-2 Tuesday, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad picked up a key road win and kept its postseason chances in play.

With the victory, their third in their last four contests, the Wolf booters get to 5-4-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-5-2 overall.

Jasmine Ader’s pitch warriors sit in fourth place in the seven-team league, with the top three advancing to the playoffs.

Mount Vernon Christian (10-0 for 30 points) has clinched the regular season title, while Friday Harbor (7-3 for 21 points) and Lopez Island (6-3-2 for 20 points) currently hold down the other two slots.

Coupeville has 17 points and needs Lopez to lose to La Conner October 27, followed by the Wolves beating Friday Harbor at Mickey Clark Field October 29 to force a tie for third place.

Tuesday’s tilt sent the Wolves up against a La Conner team which “stole” a late 4-4 tie the first time around, so the win was sweet payback.

Sophomore sniper Tamsin Ward, who missed the first meeting while rehabbing an injury, played her third game of the season and netted two goals to spark CHS.

With the offensive burst, she gets to 18 career goals, passing Lindsey Roberts (17) for #4 on the all-time Wolf girls’ soccer scoring chart.

Up next is Genna Wright (20), followed by Kalia Littlejohn (33) and Mia Littlejohn (35).

Coupeville’s other goal came from 8th grader Lucy Schisel, who banged home her team-leading fifth score of the campaign.

The Wolf defense made it stand up, with freshman goaltender Finley Helm denying the Braves on a penalty kick and the back line refusing to buckle in the game’s final moments.

Coming off the win, Coupeville closes regular season play with a non-conference road game October 24 in Port Townsend against East Jefferson before the home finale with Friday Harbor.

Taylor Marrs joins “The Club”

“You can’t win. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

Star Wars sage Obi-Wan Kenobi said it first, maybe, but Taylor Marrs is living it every day.

The Coupeville High School junior, whose soccer season was rudely interrupted by a broken ankle, is like a Jedi in many ways — slightly mysterious, full of wisdom, and the inspiration for an entire galaxy.

In this case a galaxy of young Wolf soccer players who are emulating their Zen-like master and living up to the high standards she set for them on the pitch.

Marrs joins fellow Wolf booters to cheer on the CHS boys’ soccer squad.

And now, thanks to some diligent film work by CHS coaches Jasmine Ader and Jerry Helm, Miss Marrs is finally getting official credit for a goal she scored earlier in the season.

With the tally credited to Jaden and Lauren’s lil’ sis, 15 of the 16 players on this year’s roster have scored a goal — the highest total in program history.

And Taylor?

Like another movie legend, The Dude in The Big Lebowski, she abides.

Now and forever.

“Hush child and listen to the wisdom of your elders.”

Strong fight, seasoned foe

“I’m really proud of them.”

Though just an 8th grader, Lucy Schisel has already made a strong impact as one of the leading scorers on this year’s Coupeville High School varsity girls’ soccer squad.

Dangerous on the pitch, the young Wolf booter also is already showing maturity and polish off the field, as well.

Which was demonstrated in Schisel’s thoughtful postgame comments after CHS put up a spirited fight Friday night during a 6-0 loss to visiting Mount Vernon Christian, a team with legit state title hopes.

Coupeville was unable to keep the Hurricanes high-powered offense from raining down shots, with a little help from refs who awarded MVC two penalty shots for minor collisions while ignoring Wolf goaltender Finley Helm being steamrolled and left to pick grass out of her teeth.

But that doesn’t mean the plucky Wolves, minus three key players, didn’t go down swinging in front of their home fans.

“We put in our all,” Schisel said. “We pushed ourselves against a very good team, and we had the right idea most of the time — our passes were just a second too late.”

Coupeville’s defense, under extreme duress most of the night, held up well in the early going, holding the ‘Canes scoreless for 20 minutes to open play.

Helm made several nice snags on incoming missiles, while Lillian Ketterling ran down, and hip checked into submission, several MVC players intent on making long runs.

Ultimately, however, Mount Vernon had too many high-powered scorers and slipped in two goals in a two-minute span to take the lead.

The score remained at 2-0 heading into the half, with Olivia Hall, Hailey Goldman, Emma Cushman, Tamsin Ward and others putting together another 25-minute run of not surrendering a goal.

Then the dam broke, with the Hurricanes rattling home four more goals — two thanks to those penalty shots — to salt away the win.

Helm bounded high into the air to make a jump save on a well-cracked ball in the late going, while her defenders sacrificed their bodies to the cause until the final whistle.

With the loss, and Friday Harbor beating Lopez Island 3-0 earlier in the day, Coupeville’s playoff hopes took a hit, but are not gone.

The Wolves, now 4-4-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-5-2 overall, sit in fourth place in the seven-team league, with the top three teams getting a ticket to the postseason.

MVC is atop the standings at 9-0-0 for 27 points, followed by Friday Harbor (7-2-0 for 21 points) and Lopez (6-3-2 for 20 points), with CHS (14 points), La Conner (2-4-2 for eight points), Providence Classical Christian (2-7-0 for six points), and Orcas Island (0-10 for zippo) rounding out the chase.

Coupeville has two league games left, traveling to La Conner October 20 and hosting Friday Harbor October 29, while Lopez has one, traveling to La Conner October 27.

With three points for a win and one for a tie, the Wolves need to win both of their remaining league games and need Lopez to lose to force a tie for that third, and final, playoff berth.

Howlin’ Wolves chomp on Vikings

Fourteen down, one (or two) to go.

Five different Wolves knocked in a goal Wednesday on Orcas Island, as the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad rolled to a 5-0 shutout of the host Vikings.

The win lifts CHS to 4-3-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-4-2 overall heading into a home clash Friday with league leader Mount Vernon Christian.

Facing off with a winless Orcas team, Jasmine Ader’s howlin’ Wolves spread the offensive love around.

Lillian Ketterling opened the scoring, with Lyla Grose, Sophia Greene, Tamsin Ward, and Lucy Schisel also beating the netminder.

It was the first goal of the season for both Greene and Ward, with the latter making her debut after sitting out the first 10 games while recovering from an injury.

Now with 16 career goals, Ward is one back of Lindsey Roberts for #4 on the CHS girls all-time scoring chart.

Grose and Ketterling are coming in hot, with nine apiece, while Schisel (4) and Greene (2) are working their way up the ladder as well.

With the explosion on Orcas, 14 of the 16 players on the roster have scored this year, the best single-season mark in program history.

The only two players without a score are goaltender Finley Helm, who has spent 95% of her time defending against shots, and not taking them, and defensive dynamo Taylor Marrs, who has been sidelined with a broken ankle.

Helm, who scored last season as an 8th grader, got some field time Wednesday, with Grose stepping into the net to finish off the shutout.

The Wolves, who are in their second season back after the program was shut down for two seasons due to a lack of players, has topped last year’s four-win total, and are in the hunt for a playoff berth.

After playing MVC Friday at Mickey Clark Field — 6:00 PM start and free admission — CHS travels to La Conner October 20, has a non-conference road game against East Jefferson October 24, then closes the regular season in Cow Town October 29 against Friday Harbor.
