PORT ANGELES — The Roughriders’ high-scoring offense was held in check by the Vikings in the Olympic League 2A Division opener for each team.
Port Angeles entered the game having scored 22 goals in its first three matches.
“North Kitsap, the defending Olympic League champs, dominated the possession, shots and score of the game,” Riders coach Scott Moseley said of Tuesday’s game.
“We couldn’t do much against their speed. “They gave us a quality lesson in how to play soccer.”
The Vikings (1-0, 5-0) ended the game with 16 shots, compared to five for Port Angeles. (0-1, 3-1).
Goalkeeper Madelyn Wenzel played a key role in keeping the score down, stopping 11 shots on goal, including an early North Kitsap Penalty kick.
“Mads had a solid game and made a great reaction save on the PK,” Moseley said.
He named Wenzel as one of the defensive players of the game.
North Kitsap ended the first half with a two-goal lead but the Riders forced two corner kicks that both resulted in near goals.
“Taylar Clark had her best game of the year—both offensively and defensively — I thought she had a goal on one of her corner kicks,” Moseley said.
“Overall, it was hard for us to adjust to their pace and touch on the ball.”
Moseley also praised Sierra Robinson for her work offensively and Cheyenne Wheeler for her effort on defense.
Port Angeles visits Sequim today for a rivalry matchup with the Wolves (0-1, 1-2-1).
