RATHDRUM - Lane Thompson scored two second half goals, finishing with a hat trick as the Coeur d'Alene Vikings beat the Lakeland Hawks 5-3 in a nonleague match on Wednesday at Rotary Field.
Both teams had matches wiped out due to poor air quality last week after opening the season on Aug. 22.
"It was good to get a game in," Lakeland coach Andrew Craig said. "I thought we played a decent first half, but in the second half, you could tell we were a little rusty defensively and got a little rocky. Not being able to get outside, it was definitely showing, but being able to get outside now, we'll be able to fix those things."
Coeur d'Alene (1-1) travels to Post Falls to open 5A Inland Empire League play on Tuesday.
Juho Reiman scored a pair of goals for Lakeland (0-2-1), which hosts Stillwater Christian of Kalispell, Mont., on Friday.
First half - 1, Cd'A, Justin Kofmehl (unassisted), 9:00. 2, LL, Juho Reiman (unassisted), 38:00. 3, Cd'A, Lane Thompson (unassisted), 39:00.

"We struggled with our chemistry at times and made some mistakes we couldn't shrug off," Kootenai coach Mary Gentry said. "We had some really great moments, but overall, the girls defeated themselves. As long as they learn from it, they will be able to turn it around for future success."
