SANDPOINT - Athena Robinson and Bailey Scrimsher scored their first goals of the season, Emma Weme added two assists and Makayla Sundquist notched her third shutout of the season in goal to lead Sandpoint past Moscow 3-0 in 4A Inland Empire League soccer Saturday at Centennial Field.
Weme bent in two nice crosses off corner kicks for the Bulldogs' first two goals, and the back four of Corinne Ariss, Kendra Corless, Alanna Robinson and Melissa Mione helped preserve the shutout for Sandpoint (5-2-3, 2-0 4A IEL).
"It was the best I've seen the back four cover for each other all season," said Bulldogs coach Conor Baranski, lauding Weme's precise kicks. "Those were our first two goals of the season off of corner kicks."
Sandpoint hosts Lake City on Tuesday.

Lake City 2
COEUR d'ALENE - Erica Simpson scored following a pileup in the first minute of extra time, capping a comeback that gave Post Falls a 3-2 victory over Lake City in 5A Inland Empire League play at the Irma Anderl Soccer Complex.
Simpson pursued a ball sent into the Lake City end. LC keeper Tiegan Horton came out to play it, and Simpson, Horton and a couple other Lake City players all collided. Simpson got up first, and shot the ball into the net from 5 yards out.
Lake City (2-4-3, 1-1-2 5A IEL) took a 2-1 lead on Sydney Quimby's goal five minutes into the second half. Post Falls (6-4-0, 4-1-0) tied it on Sadie Schmeling's goal midway through the half.
"We controlled the majority of the game, but we created their scoring opportunities," Lake City coach Matt Ruchti said. "We gave the ball away in really bad spots and didn't stay organized; communication really let us down today. Post Falls worked hard - they were ready to capitalize on our mistakes."
On Tuesday, Post Falls plays host to Coeur d'Alene, and Lake City travels to Sandpoint.

"We have such an amazingly young team, with eight girls who have never played before, three girls in their second year, and five veterans," Kellogg coach Steve Mills said. "So I'm extremely pleased we're moving in the right direction, and we'll keep trying each day to get a little better."

POST FALLS - Timmy Mueller broke free for two second-half goals for the host Trojans in the 5A IEL victory over the Timberwolves.
"We made some adjustments on our front line at halftime, and they worked," Post Falls coach Gabe Lawson said.
One adjustment was moving Reece Jackson up to forward from his outside midfielder position.
"Timmy was being double-teamed in the first half," Lawson said. "We used him as a decoy in the second half, and that created a lot of space to initiate some offense. It allowed us to get behind their defense, deeper into the box. And when you have Timmy shooting from 6 yards out, there's not a keeper that can stop that."
On Tuesday, Lake City (4-4-0, 1-2-0) hosts Sandpoint, and Post Falls (8-1-0, 3-1-0) travels to Coeur d'Alene.
First half - none. Second half - 1, PF, Timmy Mueller (Reece Knudsen), 55:00. 2, PF, Mueller (Reece Jackson), 65:00.
Shots on goal - LC 5, PF 8.
Saves - LC, Tanner Horton 6; PF, Noah Gondo 0.
Lakeland 4
Lewiston 1
RATHDRUM - Auston Henry had two goals and Alex Opland had a goal and an assist to lead the Hawks past the Bengals at Lakeland High.
"It was a good effort offensively by us," Lakeland coach Andrew Craig said. "I wish we could have capitalized and got more shots in the back of the net. We are now taking the shots we hadn't been earlier in the season and I'm glad we started doing that today."
The Hawks (4-4-1) are at Moscow on Tuesday.
First half - 1, LL, Alex Opland (unassisted), 15:00. 2, LL, Auston Henry (Opland), 23:00. 3, LL, Henry (Jet Paz), 32:00. Second half - 4, LL, Tanner Beadles (penalty kick), 51:00. 5, Lew, Tony Ponzini (Jake Snyder), 75:00.

MOSCOW - Anthony Fox scored the game winner, his 10th goal of the season, nearly two minutes into extra time, leading the Bulldogs over the Bears in 4A IEL play.

"We got enough done to walk away with a win," Bulldogs coach Adam Tajan said. "It was definitely a good league win. It's always tough on the road in Moscow."
The Bulldogs (7-3, 1-1 4A IEL) are at Lake City on Tuesday.
