PORT ANGELES — Defensive mistakes cost Port Angeles in a 3-1 girls soccer loss to Olympic on Tuesday night.
The Roughriders are still looking for their first Olympic League win after falling to 0-2 in conference and 4-4 overall.

“You just can’t make defensive mistakes in this game. “They made us pay for our mistakes.”
The Trojans outshot the Riders just 13-9 but led 1-0 at halftime and never trailed.
Olympic was ahead 2-0 when Brittany McBride scored for Port Angeles on a Kathryn Moseley assist at the 75th minute.
The Trojans scored a minute later to cement the win.
Backup goalkeeper Tori Holcomb, who hasn’t played in the net for three years, earned eight saves for the Riders.
Holcomb was named defensive player of the game while McBride was picked as offensive player of the game.
Kathryn Moseley and Paxton Rodocker were named co-transistion players of the game.
The Riders next play at Klahowya in league action Thursday night in Silverdale.
