BREMERTON — The Peninsula College men’s soccer team has to lose at some point right?
Maybe not.
The Pirates and prolific forward Miguel Gonzalez continued their assault on the NWAACC with a 2-0 victory over West Division rival Olympic on Wednesday.
Gonzalez score both goals in the win, as the top-ranked Peninsula men (8-0-0 in West, 14-0-0) extended their season-long win streak to 14 matches.
The first-place Peninsula women also picked up a 3-1 victory in their game, moving their win streak to seven.
“We had a good game,” Peninsula men’s coach Andrew Chapman said. “The field was a little small for us but we were able to still pass and move the ball around.”
Of course, it helps to have Gonzalez in the mix.
The sophomore striker has now scored in 13 straight matches after putting two in the back of the net Wednesday.
He netted his first goal in the 14th minute off an assist from Tyrone Warren, then later put the game away with his 26th goal of the season on a pass from Jacob Campbell in the 73rd minute.
It marked the tenth time this fall Gonzalez has scored two or more times in a game.
His school career scoring record of 41 goals is now more than double the previous mark set by Ernest Boham (20) in 2007-08.
Jared Wilson recorded his eighth shutout of the season in goal.
Peninsula outshot Olympic 12-8 on the game.
Peninsula will get a bye this Saturday before hosting fifth-ranked Bellevue next Wednesday.

BREMERTON — The Pirates kept a tight grip on first place in the West Division with their seventh straight win Wednesday.
Peninsula (8-1-0, 9-2-2) rallied from an early 1-0 deficit with three unanswered goals from Kendra Miner, Shelby Solomon and Morgan Achley.
“The ladies rebounded and started to hit the ball forward and played until the very end,” Peninsula women’s coach Kanyon Anderson said.
Miner’s score came 14 minutes after Olympic went ahead in the fourth minute, with the Alaskan freshman tying things up off an assist from Emilia Stefanko.
The Pirates didn’t move ahead until the 67th minute on Solomon’s score, then added an insurance goal from Achley in the second to last minute.
Peninsula plays at Highline on Saturday.
