Timberlake 3

Orofino 2

SPIRIT LAKE - Two first-half goals by April Sutton helped Timberlake defeat Orofino in an Intermountain League soccer match.

The Tigers (6-6-1, 5-3-1 3A IML) and Maniacs combined to score three goals in the first 11 minutes of the match.

"I think it was just the kids settling in," Timberlake coach Steve Michael said.

After the flurry of goals, the scoring settled until Timberlake's Mercedes McComb scored late in the 74th minute off an assist from Sierra Michael.

Michael had two assists in the game.

But it wasn't the goals by Sutton or the assists by Michael that caught the coach's eye after the game.

"Destiny Moffitt, a junior, has really been stepping up," Michael said. "As a coach we can't see everything during the game. But watching the tape, you get to see everything from a different angle, and I have been able to see Moffitt in a different light. She's really been putting in overtime for us."

The Tigers are idle until traveling to Lakeland on Oct. 6.

First half - 1, Oro, Jessica Gut (unassisted), 5:00. 2, TL, April Sutton (unassisted), 8:00. 3, TL, April Sutton (Sierra Michael), 11:00. Second half - 4, TL, Mercedes McComb (Sierra Michael), 74:00. 5, Oro, Kate Connor (unassisted), 76:00.

Shots on goal - TL 20, Oro 20.

Saves - TL, Tina Holtz, 18; Oro, name unavailable, 17.

Lewiston 0

COEUR d’ALENE — Lake City needed just one goal against Lewiston to stay perfect in 5A Inland League Empire play at the Irma Anderl Soccer Complex.

“I thought we played OK today,” Lake City coach Chad Beadell said. “But a win is a win.”

Lake City had 13 shots on goal in the match, providing the T-Wolves with plenty of chances to stretch the lead over Lewiston (2-9-0, 0-4-0).

“I think we hit every part of the goal and the goalie,” Beadell said. “I think our guys were frustrated. They were doing everything right but Lewiston played a heck of a game.”

First half — 1, LC, Kyle Lamson (Mason Sanchez), 4:16. Second half — none.
