PORT TOWNSEND — Callie Peet scored a pair of first-half goals to lead Port Angeles to a 5-0 win over Port Townsend in Olympic League girls soccer action at Memorial Field.
Khaya Elliott started the scoring for the Roughriders off an assist by Kate Haworth. Peet then earned credit for goals in the 24th and 37th minutes.
In the second half, Emma Moseley scored in the 60th minute, assisted by Maddie Boe. Mosely then set up Kylee Jeffers for a goal in the 67th minute.
“Each goal [we] let in had it’s own element of misfortune, but as they say, ‘they all count,’” Port Townsend coach Colin Foden said after Thursday’s game.
“Nevertheless, the game was far more even that the score suggests.
“Jewel Johnson came close to scoring on at least three occasions, Lily Murock was creative and industrious, Rose Gitelman and Reilly Berkshire defiantly held their lines and Shenoa Snyder added strength to a defense that was ably led by Anne Meek.”
Port Angeles improves to 3-6 on the season and currently holds the sixth-place spot in the Olympic League standings, a half-game ahead of North Mason (2-6).
The Riders host fifth-place Bremerton (4-5) on Tuesday in an important league match.
The Redskins (0-9) play at Kingston (7-2), which is tied for second place with Olympic, on Tuesday.
“The full squad was together for the first time, and there was hope of a good result,” Foden said following the loss to Port Angeles.
“Although the score didn’t go the way [we] wanted, the way [we] played was a great improvement.”
