SEQUIM — The Port Angeles and Sequim soccer teams placed a total of five girls on the All-Olympic League first team for girls soccer, with Port Angeles goalkeeper Kennedy Rognlien leading the way by being named the league’s Co-defensive Player of the Year.
Rognlien, a senior, tallied a total of four shutouts in goal this season and had five other games in which she allowed just one goal. All season, the Roughriders allowed just 11 goals all season — seven of those in three games against Bainbridge, which went 19-2 on the season. Rognlien’s season was punctuated by a standout performance in the state playoffs, in which she stopped 16 out of 17 shots in a 1-0 loss to Hockinson.
Last year, Rognlien made first-team All-Olympic league.
Port Angeles’ Emma Desjardins made the first-team all league as a freshmen. She scored 21 goals in her freshmen season to lead the Riders, breaking the record set several years ago by Millie Long, who later became a league MVP at both Port Angeles and Peninsula College and now plays Div. 1A basketball at Fresno State. Sophomore Mariah Traband also made the first-team thanks to her 10 goals.
Also making first team was senior Becca Manson. Manson, Traband, Desjardins and Rognlien helped lead the Riders to a 16-5 record, a No. 8 RPI ranking and trip to the state playoffs this season.
Making the first team for the second straight year was Sequim midfielder Raimey Brewer. Kiley Winter, a second-teamer last year for the Wolves as a forward, made the first team this year. Brewer and Winter led Sequim to a 7-11 record, which included a victory in the district playoffs.
