BOYS SOCCER

LEWISTON — Alex Opland and Colton Grytness both recorded hat tricks for the Lakeland Hawks in a 6-1 win over the Lewiston Bengals in a nonleague match on Wednesday at Walker Field.

“They’ve really been connecting quite a bit in the last few games,” said Lakeland coach Nick Haynes of the duo. “Both of them have been playing really well for us. If one isn’t scoring, he’s getting the assist.”

After going scoreless the first 30 minutes of the game, Lakeland scored five goals in 15 minutes to build the lead.

“We had quite a few chances early on,” Haynes said. “After the long bus ride, we came out a little slow.”

Cade Coffey had three saves for Lakeland (5-3-2), which hosts Post Falls on Saturday at Corbit Field.

First half — 1, LL, Alex Opland (unassisted), 30:00. 2, LL, Colton Grytness (Opland), 31:00. 3, LL, Opland (Grytness), 39:00. Second half — 4, LL, Opland (Grytness), 42:00. 5, LL, Grytness (Opland), 45:00. 6, Lew, Ryan Weiner (unassisted), 58:00. 7, LL, Grytness (Malte Norgaard), 62:00.

Nick Spooner scored in the first half for St. Maries (0-8), which hosts the Coeur d’Alene JV on Monday.

Lakeland 0

SPOKANE — Angeliqu Weatherelt had eight saves as the Hawks lost to the Saxons in a nonleague match at Joe Albi Stadium.

“I think we played better defensively, but we couldn’t put together any passes,” Lakeland coach Mario Maddy said. “We just struggled to find passes, but we defended a lot better than we had in previous games.”

Ferris took 13 shots on goal, compared to eight for Lakeland (1-4-1) on the turf in Spokane.

“Playing there, you’ve got to make a different weighed pass than we’re used to,” Maddy said. “It’s a cool atmosphere to play there.”

Lakeland hosts Colville on Saturday at Corbit Field.

First half — 1, Ferris, N/A, 37:00. Second half — 2, Ferris, N/A, 73:00.
