“Two Fists” came out swinging Thursday … with her foot.
Coupeville High School senior Micky LeVine, the scrappiest of mighty mites and ultimate defender of her teammates on the pitch, was content to let her golden leg do all her talking at Orcas Island.
Raining down a pair of goals — her first scores of the season — LeVine propelled the Wolves to a 4-0 non-conference victory.
The win broke a two-game scoreless streak for Coupeville and evened its record at 2-2.
The Wolves jumped on Orcas quickly, scoring all of their goals in the first half.
After that, it was time to give the bench some playing time. Freshman defender Mckenzie Meyer moved into net, teaming up with senior goalie Julia Myers to record the shutout.
“We controlled the entire match, moving the ball with controlled precision,” CHS coach Troy Cowan said. “The girls were able to maintain a high level of energy and stayed focused on our pregame goals.”
While a lot of players chipped in, the spotlight was firmly on LeVine, who tacked on an assist to go with her goals.
“I was forced to pull her off the pitch late in the first half so I could hose her off with our emergency fire extinguisher,” Cowan joked. “I mean, this kid was on fire!!! Someone should tell Micky smoking is bad for her.”
Fellow senior captain Erin Rosenkranz was almost as en fuego as LeVine, scoring a goal and notching an assist, while freshman Mia Littlejohn rounded out the scoring with her third goal of the young season.
Coupeville’s fast-rising freshmen continue to make an impact. Sage Renninger, who collected her first high school assist, joined Littlejohn and Meyer in netting praise from their coach.
“Sage worked hard and will score a lot of goals,” Cowan said. “I told her to just keep shooting.”
Ana Luvera “continues to be solid” and won the game ball and hustle award, while Bree Daigneault and Kirsten Pelroy “gave solid performances off the bench and are making huge strides of improvements.”
“I’m proud of the girls,” Cowan said. “They are a bunch of great young ladies that just happen to play soccer!!”
