The wind never bothered them anyway.

Playing their season finale on a gusty afternoon, the Coupeville High School girls soccer players defended their home pitch in style Tuesday, knocking off visiting La Conner 4-0.

The victory gives the Wolves a season sweep of the Braves and lifts them to a final mark of 2-4 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-8 overall.

“A nice way to finish the season and for Senior Night,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson.

Sophomore Ayden Wyman continued the torrid start to her high school career, knocking in a pair of goals to pace the Wolf attack.

After rattling home four goals as a fab frosh, she notched nine scores in her second season.

That’s the best showing for a Coupeville girl since Kalia Littlejohn (15) and Genna Wright (10) hit double-digits back in 2017.

With 13 career goals, Wyman slides ahead of Avalon Renninger (12) and sits at #5 all-time on the CHS girls scoring chart at the midpoint of her run.

Her targets in the years to come?

That would be Mia Littlejohn (35), Kalia Littlejohn (33), Wright (20), and Lindsey Roberts (17).

Coupeville’s other two goals Tuesday came from seniors Carolyn Lhamon and Nezi Keiper, while Ava Mitten and Lhamon tallied assists.

Keiper, the heart and soul of the Wolf defense for four years, notched her first high school goal, while Lhamon tallied her fourth of the season, and seventh of her career.

The duo was joined by fellow 12th graders Anna Myles, Gwen Crowder, and Wynter Arndt in being honored for their many contributions to the Wolf pitch program.

No hacking and coughing for you.

Tuesday’s Coupeville High School girls soccer road trip was cancelled, thanks to poor air quality in Granite Falls.

It’s the latest in a string of contests preempted in Washington state by smoke from forest fires.

No definitive word on whether the non-conference game will be rescheduled, though odds are not great with the end of the regular season in sight, and both schools putting a priority on playing league games first.

For now, Coupeville’s booters head back to the practice field, with their next and possibly final clash set for next Tuesday, Oct. 25.

The Wolves host La Conner at 4 PM in the first half of a home doubleheader.

Senior Night festivities for both the CHS girls and boys will be held between games, before Coupeville’s boys face off with the Braves.

Hurricanes wash away Wolf booters

The Hurricanes make it rain.

Goals, that is.

The Mount Vernon Christian girls soccer team is a legitimate state title contender, and the Hurricanes prove it on both sides of the field.

After thunking visiting Coupeville 10-0 Thursday afternoon, MVC has tallied 51 goals, while recording six shutouts in 12 games.

If their 8-4 record seems a bit low-key to you, first consider that the ‘Canes, who rep a 1B school, have only lost to schools at least two classifications higher.

That would be 3A Mount Vernon, 2A Sehome, 2A Burlington-Edison, and undefeated 1A Bear Creek.

Thursday’s win lifts MVC to 5-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, while Coupeville falls to 1-4 in league, 2-8 overall.

The Wolves, who will miss the playoffs this season, have at least two, and possibly three games left on the schedule.

CHS travels to Granite Falls (4-4) Oct. 18, then hosts NWL rival La Conner (0-10) on Senior Night Oct. 25.

There is a chance of another road game after Senior Night, if the schedule breaks right.

Coupeville was supposed to travel to Sultan earlier this season, but the rumble was bumped because the Turks had a backlog of league games to play after smoke from forest fires postponed several matches.

While nothing has been concretely decided, both schools expressed interest in trying to reschedule the game at the end of the season.

Wolf girls assault the net

Ayden Wyman got historical, and the Wolves got dangerous.

Raining down goals on host La Conner Tuesday, the Coupeville High School girls soccer squad romped to a 6-0 win.

The victory lifts CHS to 1-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 2-7 overall and pulls it out of the conference basement.

Coupeville sits in third place among the four NWL schools to play girls soccer, a half-game up on La Conner (0-3, 0-10).

Mount Vernon Christian (4-0, 7-4), who the Wolves play Thursday, have clinched the league title, while Friday Harbor (3-2, 6-5-1) is in second.

Coupeville’s goal explosion Tuesday — which produced its largest single-game scoring total of the season — came from three players.

Wynter Arndt notched her first high school goal, joining graduated older sister Knight on the CHS soccer all-time scoring list, while fellow senior Carolyn Lhamon punched in two scores.

That gives Lhamon three tallies on the season, six for her prep career.

But the biggest contribution belonged to sophomore sensation Ayden Wyman, who continues to baffle rival goaltenders.

With three more goals Tuesday, she has a team-best seven for her second high school campaign, and 11 for her career.

Wyman is the sixth Wolf girl to break double digits, trailing just Mia Littlejohn (35 goals), Kalia Littlejohn (33), Genna Wright (20), Lindsey Roberts (17), and Avalon Renninger (12).

Coupeville’s goals Tuesday were set up by solid teamwork, with Gwen Crowder, Anna Myles, and Arndt picking up assists.

“Nice to get a solid win,” said Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson as he marinated in the moment.

Wolves tangle with pitch powerhouse

It was a tall challenge.

The Coupeville High School girls soccer squad is a scrappy band of players who never back down from anyone.

But, when the opponent is a blue blood program which boasts multiple state titles and enters play undefeated, life is likely to be tough.

Such was the case Saturday, as the Wolves put out a maximum effort but came up short against visiting Crosspoint Academy.

The Warriors, repping a 1B school, exited Whidbey with a 7-0 win, improving their season mark to 5-0-1, with that tie having come against 2A power North Kitsap.

Edie Bittner battles for control of the ball.

The loss drops Coupeville to 1-7, though their next game should be a more-competitive affair.

The Wolves travel to La Conner Tuesday, Oct. 11 to face a Braves team which sits at 0-8 on the season.

Coupeville has home and away games with La Conner, as well as road trips to Mount Vernon Christian and Granite Falls left on the schedule.

The Wolves may also pick up a road game at Sultan, if the two schools are able to work around the Turks league schedule, which has been impacted by fire-related weather conditions.
