COEUR d'ALENE - Persia Anderson scored the game-tying goal Tuesday for Post Falls, but Lake City was still able to clinch the 5A Inland Empire League title after tying the visiting Trojans, 2-2, at the Irma Anderl Soccer Complex.

"When we do our goal-setting, we don't talk about being regular season (or) district champions," Timberwolves coach Matt Ruchti said. "Our focus centers on the game and that always allows us to achieve our goals. They've been playing pretty well lately."

Lake City Meaghan Bare scored what would have been the go-ahead goal in the 82nd minute, but the official called her offside.

The Timberwolves (7-3-3, 4-1-1 5A IEL) finish their regular season on Thursday at Sandpoint in nonleague play.

"We had a goal called back in the second half," Ruchti said. We had our opportunities. I thought our kids played great."

A scorefest opened up in the second half. Post Falls sophomore defender Sadie Schmeling tied the game at 1, on an unassisted goal in the 65th minute. Just three minutes later, Bare scored as Lake City took a 2-1 lead.

The Trojans (8-3-2, 2-1-2) finish their regular season with a league game Thursday at home against Coeur d'Alene.
