* BOYS

SANDPOINT - Lakeland capitalized on a couple of defensive miscues by Sandpoint, grabbing a 2-1 win in the 4A Inland Empire League opener for both teams Tuesday night at War Memorial Field.

Anthony Fox scored his ninth goal of the season just four minutes into the game, giving the Bulldogs (6-3, 0-1 4A IEL) a 1-0 lead, which stood up until the half.

Alex Opland took advantage of a defensive miscue in the 45th minute, scoring the equalizer when he had a free run in front of the goal and beat the keeper one on one.

Opland scored the go-ahead goal 15 minutes later on a penalty kick after a Lakeland player was held in the box. Lakeland (3-3-1, 1-0 4A IEL) keeper Cade Coffey made the lead stand up with several saves.

"We came out flat in the first five minutes, and it took a goal against us to wake us up," Lakeland coach Andrew Craig said. "Alex and Cade were the players of the game; both were outstanding."

First half - 1, Spt, Anthony Fox (Jeremiah Gagnon), 4:00. Second half - 2, LL, Alex Opland (unassisted), 45:00. 3, LL, Opland (penalty kick), 60:00.

Johnny Dance had a goal and an assist for Coeur d'Alene (5-1-2), which plays at Lake City on Thursday.
