Sandpoint 2

Coeur d’Alene 0

SANDPOINT — Sandpoint senior midfielder Luke Koch blasted in a first-half goal that drew high praise from both coaches, leading the Bulldogs to a solid win over the Vikings in a nonleague friendly at Pine St. Field.

In the 22nd minute of a scoreless game, Koch took a pass from Noah Hastings and unloaded from 25 yards out, giving the Bulldogs (7-0-1) a 1-0 lead.

“Their first goal was a wonder goal, the kid (Koch) had a heck of a strike,” said Vikings head coach Jeff Lake, showing classy respect in defeat. “I’ll give it up to Sandpoint, they showed a lot of grit and a lot of fire.”

Sandpoint head coach Evan McNeley, who will return to his other job as a starting defender for the Tacoma Stars of the Major Indoor Soccer League once the high school season ends, admitted Koch’s goal was a thing of beauty.

“Brilliantly-timed laser into the top corner,” described McNeley. “I don’t think Luke’s hit a better ball. Just a world-class finish.”

Thanks in part to the work of the three Bulldog defenders, Tanner Kohal, Max Edmundson and Taran Tvrdy, the Vikings (4-2) had trouble generating any quality looks out of their quick-strike attack.

The match was still 1-0 in the 65th minute when Tvrdy was on the receiving end of a nice cross from Hastings, heeding his coaches’ advice to head the ball down, striking a clean header with pace past Vikings’ keeper Shawn McKeeken, who had a few top-notch saves to keep the game close.

The Bulldogs open league play on Monday at Lakeland after an undefeated stretch against six 5A opponents.

Coeur d’Alene travels to Lewiston on Tuesday.

First half — 1, Spt, Luke Koch (Noah Hastings), 22:00. Second half — 2, Spt, Taran Tvrdy (Hastings), 65:00.

We missed some fairly easy chances and we can live with that. If we would have finished, we would have won.”
