Bremerton 3, Port Angeles 0
PORT ANGELES — The Roughriders had the run of play throughout the match and even outshot the Knights 14-8, but failed to capitalize on their chances.
Bremerton scored in the 39th minute Tuesday on a Port Angeles defensive lapse.
The second half was a mirror of the first, with the Riders dominating possession, but the Knights netted two more goals to win going away.
“I’ve never seen a team have so much of the ball and still lose 3-0,” Port Angeles coach Scott Moseley said.
“Our offensive play and passing will need to improve as we head down to Olympic [tonight].”
Moseley singled out Cheyenne Wheeler as defensive player of the game for the Riders.
“Cheyenne had a solid game at right back, especially when she involved herself by moving forward,” Moseley said.
Port Angeles falls to 1-2 in Olympic League play and 4-2 overall.
The Riders’ JV team lost to Chimacum’s varsity team 3-0 on Tuesday.
