PORT ANGELES — Sequim blanked Port Angeles 2-0 in the first of two counting Olympic League games the rivals will play this season.
Omar Flores and Mason Barrett both scored in the second half as the Wolves beat the Roughriders at Civic Field on Tuesday night.
“We played really well,” Sequim coach Dave Brasher said.
The Wolves outshot the Riders 22-9 and had control most of the game but Port Angeles hung close in the first half with the teams settling for a 0-0 stalemate at halftime.
“Both teams had some periods of nice passing and possession,” Port Angeles coach Chris Saari said.
Senior midfielder Flores, however, got the Wolves on the board quickly in the second half, with a goal at the 42nd minute on an assist from junior forward Ron Welches.
Five minutes later Barrett, a senior forward, put Sequim ahead 2-0 on an assist by junior midfielder Brandon Payne.
The key for Sequim was holding the Riders to nine shots and keeping them out of the net.
“Our defense played solid,” Brasher said.
Defenders Royhon Agostine, Hector Baylon and Bailey Collins did a stellar job of holding down across the back line while Eli Berg and Nicholas Baird played well in the midfield, Brasher said.
Freshman goalkeeper Austin Wagner had three saves for the Wolves and recorded the shutout.
“We created a few quality chances but were unable to really test [Wagner],” Saari said.
Brasher named Flores the player of the match for Sequim.
Saari said senior goalkeeper Jack Doryland kept the Riders in the game.
“Freshman Jeremy Fu had some good ball distribution in the midfield for us, and freshman Jeff Glatsz made some quality slide tackles in our defense,” Saari said.
Doryland and Glatsz were named the defensive co-players of the match while Fu was picked as the transition player of the game for the Riders.
The two teams play their second counting match April 12 at Sequim High School.
League teams played each other officially only once last season.
The Wolves improved to 1-1-0 in league after opening with a 3-2 shootout loss to Kingston on Saturday.
The Riders, meanwhile, are 0-2-0 in league after opening with a 6-5 sudden-death overtime loss at Port Townsend on Saturday.
Teams received three points for a victory, two points for a shootout win, one for a tie and none for a loss.
Sequim beat Port Angeles 4-0 in the JV game.
The Riders next travel to North Mason for a varsity-only game today at 6:45 p.m. in Belfair while the Wolves host Klahowya tonight.
