SEATTLE - Timmy Mueller finished the day with three goals to lead the Idaho Thunder under-17 soccer team to a win and a tie in their two round-robin games Sunday at the US Club Soccer Northwest Regional.

Mueller scored twice and Alex Opland and Jake Nelson also had goals to lead the Thunder to a 4-3 win over Tynecastle of Seattle in their first game of the day. Tynecastle was ranked No. 2 in Washington, according to Thunder coach Briggs Anderson.
