Shorthanded Lakeland boys happy after tying Lake City

RATHDRUM — There may or may not be moral victories in soccer, but sometimes there are moral ties.

The 4A Lakeland Hawks tied the visiting 5A Lake City Timberwolves 1-1 in nonleague play at Rotary Field.

“It was a good game, we’re happy about it,” Hawks coach Andrew Craig said. “It’s tough going against a 5A school, they’re really well-coached. Hopefully coming up with a tie this season will swing the momentum our way the rest of this season.”

Two minutes into the second half, Collin Millette scored on an assist by Jett Paz for Lakeland (3-9-1).

Kenny Randall opened the scoring for the Timberwolves (5-1-2) in the 18th minute.

Lakeland starting goalkeeper Cade Coffey sat out with what Craig called “disciplinary issues.” Freshman midfielder/forward Austin Garitone sat out with a hip injury.

Craig said Garitone will sit out in Lakeland’s next match Tuesday at home against Post Falls, but should be able to return next Thursday at Sandpoint.

Lakeland’s Daniel McDevitt stepped in for Coffey and had three saves.

“Our bench stepped up and really played well,” Craig said.

First half — 1, LC, Kenny Randall (assist unavailable), 18:00. Second half — 2, LL, Collin Millette (Jett Paz), 42:00.

Shots on goal — LC 4, LL 5.

Saves — LC, Tanner Horton 2, Jared Stone 2. LL, Daniel McDevitt 3.

Coeur d’Alene 1

COEUR d’ALENE — An own goal in the 60th minute cost Coeur d’Alene in a nonleague defeat against Sandpoint.

The goal gave the Bulldogs (5-3-2) a 2-0 lead.

“That one hurt us, but we struggled a lot today,” Vikings coach Andy Vredenberg said. “It’s a grueling schedule, we have three games per week. The teams that are meant to be prepared (for that) are going to do well. My hat’s off to Sandpoint.”

Gillian Sanchez scored to the far post for Coeur d’Alene (1-7-1) from six yards out. The assist was made by Cori Haney on a corner kick. It was the Vikings’ first goal after being shut out in five straight games.

Coeur d’Alene plays Saturday at Lakeland.

First half — none. Second half — 1, Spt, Laurel Flood (unassisted), 47:00. 2, Spt, own goal, 60:00. 3, Cd’A, Gillian Sanchez (Cori Haney), 78:00.

Lake City 8

Lakeland 0

COEUR d’ALENE — Alissa Jolliff had two goals and an assist to lead the Timberwolves past the Hawks in a nonleague match at the Irma Anderl Soccer Complex.

“Our kids communicated and knocked the ball around and gave themselves a chance to score in the final third of the field,” Lake City coach Matt Ruchti said. “Scoring eight goals on 19 shots is a good ratio and hopefully we can continue that trend.”

On Saturday, Lake City (4-3-2) travels to Lewiston and Lakeland (2-8) hosts Coeur d’Alene at Rotary Field in Rathdrum.

First half — 1, LC, Alissa Jolliff (Maddi Ward), 7:00. 2, LC, Ward (Jen Snow), 10:00. 3, LC, Sydney Quimby (Camryn Wendlandt), 17:00. 4, LC, Courtny Hanson (Havana Johnson), 19:00. 5, LC, Hanson (Bailey Burgin), 30:00. 6, LC, Ward (Johnson), 35:00.

COEUR d’ALENE — Four different players each scored unassisted goals for the host Panthers in the Intermountain League victory over the Wildcats at United Community Methodist Field — Sarah Haman, Emily Osborne-Moss, Katie Baxter and Abby Bartlett.

League-leading Coeur d’Alene Charter (8-1-2, 7-0 3A IML) bounced back after Taylor Petersen of Kellogg (5-3-1, 5-2-1) scored on a penalty kick 13:20 into the game.

“I feel like playing Kellogg is always tough,” Charter coach David Baxter said. “The score does not reflect the play between the 18-yard boxes.”
