The magic number is 21.

That’s how many goals Coupeville High School soccer players have combined to score this season, with nine different Wolves beating opposing goaltenders.

Leading the way is freshman Tamsin Ward, who has accounted for more than a third of the tallies by herself.

The numbers are ever-shifting, however, and with the Wolf girls slated to play four more regular season games, and the boys scheduled for seven, expect things to change.

Where we sit, as of Oct. 8:

 

Girls:

Tamsin Ward – 8
Lyla Grose – 3
Paige Hill – 2
Finley Helm – 1
Ariella Lee-Spaulding – 1

 

Boys:

Sage Arends – 2
Brian Thompson – 2
Liam Lawson – 1
Edmund Wilson – 1

Young guns spark pitch win

They’re young, but ready to win now.

Sparked by goals from freshman Tamsin Ward and 8th grader Lyla Grose, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad toppled visiting Providence Classical Christian 2-1 Monday night in a prairie thriller.

The victory lifts the Wolves, whose program was shut down the past two seasons, to 2-6 heading into the final third of the regular season.

CHS travels to Lopez Island Thursday, before hosting Sultan Saturday at 6:00 PM. That will be Senior Night for Coupeville’s lone 12th grader, Frankie Tenore.

Facing off with Providence, the Wolves relied on their two biggest offensive weapons this season.

Grose banked in her third goal of the campaign, while Ward found the back of the net for the eighth time.

The fab frosh, who played on a CHS co-ed squad last season as an 8th grader, is moving up the career scoring chart at a frantic rate.

With those eight goals, Ward already sits in a tie with Wolf grads Sophie Martin and Sage Renninger as the #7 scorer in Coupeville girls’ soccer history.

With the majority of their prep pitch careers still ahead of them, Ward and Grose are chasing Mia Littlejohn (35), Kalia Littlejohn (33), Genna Wright (20), Lindsey Roberts (17), Ayden Wyman (13), and Avalon Renninger (12) on the all-time list.

They have the magic (scoring) touch

See net. Shoot. Score.

Now it’s rarely that simple, what with defenders hanging all over you and often having to dodge weather hazards, but soccer players with the magic touch can make it look easy.

As we roll through the end of September and eyeball October’s arrival, it seems like a great time to pause and tally up the goals scored by Coupeville High School booters so far.

At the moment there are nine Wolves — five girls and four boys — who have combined to drill the nets for 19 goals.

Topping the pack is freshman Tamsin Ward, who is three scores away from joining Mia Littlejohn, Genna Wright, and Kalia Littlejohn as the only Wolf girls to record double-digit scoring totals in a single season.

Where things stand through Sept. 28:

 

Girls:

Tamsin Ward – 7
Lyla Grose – 2
Paige Hill – 2
Finley Helm – 1
Ariella Lee-Spaulding – 1

 

Boys:

Sage Arends – 2
Brian Thompson – 2
Liam Lawson – 1
Edmund Wilson – 1

Ward has pop, Wolves have passion

The building blocks are in place.

Having revived the girls’ soccer program at Coupeville High School after a two-year absence, the young Wolves are busy learning under fire.

Lesson #2 came Wednesday afternoon on the prairie, as visiting Lopez Island sent Coupeville tumbling to a 7-1 loss.

While the defeat dropped the pitch warriors to 0-2 on the very young season, the final score was a bit deceptive.

“Our efforts did not depict our play,” said CHS coach Jasmine Ader. “Overall, I’m happy with our first two performances.

“We are moving the ball well and we are able to be dynamic in the final third.”

Paige Hill kicks it into overdrive.

Coupeville sent a fair amount of balls at the Lobos goal, raining down 28 shots on frame, but were denied by a stellar defensive effort from Lopez.

Freshman Tamsin Ward did break through, rattling home her fourth goal of the campaign off of an assist from senior captain Frankie Tenore.

With a road trip to La Conner on the books for Friday, Ader and her young squad — more than half the roster is comprised of 8th graders — will continue to strive for excellence.

“Once the Wolves have a healthy 15-person roster, success is endless,” Ader said. “The efforts that this team is putting in will have great rewards.

“Each day the Wolves are getting better individually and meshing together as a team.”
