LEWISTON — Freshman Cole Daricek scored 10 minutes into the match for the Hawks in a loss to the Bengals in the season opener for both at Walker Field.

“We were pretty even in the first half, and they scored to take a 2-1 lead toward the end of the half,” Lakeland coach Jeremiah Beckett said. “We didn’t have any subs and were just gassed in the 95-degree heat. Overall, it was a very clean game, but we just ran out of gas.”

The teams play again at Sunrise Rotary Field in Rathdrum on Tuesday.

First half — 1, Lew, George Lopez (Micah Rudy), 15:00. 2, LL, Cole Daricek (Colin Glass), 19:00. 3, Lew, William Kokernak (penalty kick), 33:00.
