GIG HARBOR — The Northern Peninsula Football Club got back on the winning track with a 5-2 win on the road Sunday against Harbor Force 2.

The win keeps the fledgling Port Townsend-based elite soccer team in second place in the Western Washington Premier League 2. The NPFC gets another crack at unbeaten first-place team Seattle Umoja in Port Townsend on July 25.

Scoring goals for NPFC were Orion Weinblatt, Joost Besijn and David Rowe in the first half to take a 3-0 lead into the break.

Silas DeWyse scored a goal for NPFC on a header off a corner kick to make it 4-0.

In the second half, Harbor Force 2 rallied with a pair of goals. One came on a penalty kick and the team scored another goal on a corner.

Ryan Tolbert put the game out of reach with a goal in the 90th minute for NPFC.

The NPFC (4-1-2) next plays at Gala FC in Arlington on Sunday. This is a team the Olympic Peninsula club beat 4-1 in May.

NPFC has scheduled a couple of nonleague friendlies. The first will be July 3 at Albert Haller field in Sequim against a Seattle U-19 select team. Team manager Besijn said another friendly will be played at Memorial Field in Port Townsend on July 10, though an opponent has not been picked yet.
