Mueller helps Trojans take down Sandpoint

SANDPOINT — Timmy Mueller scored in the 18th minute, and it would be all Post Falls would need, as the Trojans hung on to notch a rare road win at Sandpoint, downing the Bulldogs 1-0 in nonleague boys soccer action under the Thursday night lights of War Memorial Field.

Montgomery Boyd posted a shutout in goal for the Trojans (4-1), whose coach lauded their heart after the physical game, marked by numerous yellow cards.

“Basically sheer desire, passion and heart,” said Trojan coach Gabe Lawson of the difference in the game. “This is a hard place to play in and Sandpoint rarely loses on this field. We finally came out and showed heart and desire.”

Sandpoint (5-3-1) played with more urgency in the second half, but couldn’t finish any of its chances.

“We didn’t show up in the first half. I guess they (players) thought things would just get rolling,” Sandpoint coach Adam Tajan said. “When you’re a two-time state champ, everybody is out to beat you. Post Falls is an athletic, fast team.”

Post Falls plays host to Moscow on Wednesday.
