RATHDRUM — It was even for the first 16 minutes.

And then, it wasn’t.

Drake Prohaska, Gabe Nazemi and Max Bennett scored two goals each for the visiting Coeur d’Alene Vikings in an 8-1 win over the Lakeland Hawks in a nonleague match on Wednesday at Sunrise Rotary Field.

“We came out flat and were chasing them from the get-go,” Lakeland coach Jeremiah Beckett said. “We didn’t get into our game. We tried, but came out flat. Coeur d’Alene had really good ball control and footwork. They’re an awesome team.”
