Lakeland boys advance to regional title game

MOSCOW - Sophomore Daniel McDevitt had five saves in goal, playing for the injured Cade Coffey, to help the third-seeded Lakeland Hawks beat the second-seeded Moscow Bears 2-1 in a loser-out game in the 4A Region 1 tournament on Thursday at Moscow Junior High.

Lakeland (5-11-2) travels to Sandpoint (11-2-2) to face the top-seeded Bulldogs at Centennial Field on Thursday at 3:30 p.m., with the winner advancing to the state 4A tournament starting next Thursday at Brothers Field in Caldwell.

Moscow finished 4-9-2.

"We were really happy with getting the win," Lakeland coach Andrew Craig said. "In our school history, it was the third district game we've ever won. Winning on the road meant more because the boys had to play with more determination and heart."

Coffey, who also is the placekicker and punter on the Lakeland football team, sprained his right ankle during last Friday's football game at Colville, and was unable to play on Tuesday.

"With Cade being injured, the boys had to persevere with it, and the boys did a great job," Craig said. "They played good, fundamental soccer. It was OK without Cade because Daniel works hard and played a solid game today."

First half - 1, LL, Kyle Deeter (unassisted), 15:00. 2, Mos, Drew Bogdin (unassisted), 17:00. 3, LL, Seth Galbreath (Fernando Pimentel), 25:00. Second half - none.

Shots on goal - LL 6, Mos 6.

Saves - LL, Daniel McDevitt 5; Mos, Nick Anderton 4.

Timberlake 4

Priest River 2

RATHDRUM - Allison Kirby picked up a hat trick to lead Timberlake over Priest River, in the 3A District 1-2 girls soccer tournament at Rotary Field.

Kirby scored two of her three goals in the second half, after the No. 5 seed Tigers (4-9-1) took a 1-0 lead at the half. The Spartans, the No. 4 seed, finished 4-12.

"We were totally flat in the first half," Timberlake coach Steve Michael said. "I don't know if it was nerves of a team that for most of our players, was in its first district game. We made some adjustments and the second half went our way."

Timberlake plays No. 1 Coeur d'Alene Charter on Friday in the semifinals at Rotary Field. The winner qualifies for state next week at Vallivue High in Caldwell.

First half - 1, TL, Allison Kirby (unassisted), 33:00. Second half - 2, TL, Kirby (unassisted), 45:00. 3, PR, Angel Clark (unassisted), 46:00. 4, TL, Maurie Roth (unassisted), 49:00. 5, TL, Kirby (unassisted), 57:00. 6, PR, Alyssa C. (unassisted), 67:00.
