Injury-plagued Trojan girls edge Lakeland

- GIRLS

RATHDRUM — Kaylee Moate scored in the 81st minute, her second goal of the match, to lift the Post Falls Trojans past the Lakeland Hawks 2-1 in a nonleague match at Sunrise Rotary Field on Thursday.

“Tonight’s game was a much-needed win,” Post Falls coach Steve Mills said. “We have been — and still are — such an incredibly injured team that we have looking for any positives we can find. Kaylee, Morgan (Rust) and Alyssa (Smith) were rock solid for us all game long. I told those three girls at the beginning of the match that I was putting a lot on their shoulders. They really stepped up.”

Post Falls has nine starters out of the lineup with injuries.

“I am so incredibly impressed with the job all of the JV players have done for us,” Mills said. “Every single one of them played the best I’ve ever seen them play. I’m very proud of these young ladies.”

SPOKANE — Sarah Hines and Isabella Lucky each scored twice as the visiting Panthers blanked the Dragons in nonleague play.

Lucky also had an assist for Coeur d’Alene Charter (8-0), which has won seven times by shutout and allowed just one goal all season. Mercedes Zepeda notched the shutout on Thursday.

“This was definitely the fastest team we’ve played all season,” Charter coach Stacy Smith said. “We were challenged in the middle field and on the back line throughout the entire game.

POST FALLS — McKie Gregory recorded a hat trick for the Trojans in a nonleague win over the Hawks at Post Falls High.
