PREP BOYS SOCCER ROUNDUP: Barrett goal lifts Timberwolves past Trojans

POST FALLS - Jack Barrett's unassisted goal in the 45th minute proved to be the difference on Saturday as the Lake City Timberwolves beat the Post Falls Trojans 1-0 in a 5A Inland Empire League match.

Moscow 1

Sandpoint 0

MOSCOW - Sandpoint had a tough time generating any offense, falling to the Bears in 4A Inland Empire League play. The Bulldogs (4-5, 1-1 4A IEL) were only able to produce one shot on goal, with Moscow eventually scoring the game winner in the 64th minute. Sandpoint head coach Adam Tajan said his team's inability to create scoring chances was the difference.

"Moscow had things organized defensively, and pretty much shut down everything we were trying to create," said Tajan, praising the play of goalie Kyle Hertel in defeat. "Kyle made a couple good saves in the second half to keep us in the game. We just never got off the bus to play."

Sandpoint (4-5, 1-1 4A IEL) visits Lake City on Tuesday.

Moscow is 1-0-0 in league.

First half - None. Second half - 1, Moscow, 64:00.
