PREP ROUNDUP: Lake City deflates, defeats Coeur d'Alene boys

• BOYS SOCCER

COEUR d’ALENE — Throughout the 2021 season, Coeur d’Alene, in most cases, has found itself often getting a lead early, then watching as the air goes out of its opponent.

On Tuesday, the Vikings had the wind taken out of their sails.

Noah Janzen scored the tying goal in the 55th minute, then Jacob Molina and Connor Jump added scores in the final 10 minutes as the visiting Lake City Timberwolves notched a 4-2 win over the Vikings in an Inland Empire League match at Coeur d’Alene High.

Isaac Fritts had a goal and an assist for Coeur d’Alene, which led 2-0 after 18 minutes.

“Lake City is probably the most aggressive team we’ve seen all season,” Coeur d’Alene coach Braden Ridgewell said. “Most teams, we’d get two goals on them and they’d deflate. But Lake City has some athletic guys that can run the field for 80 minutes and we just couldn’t keep the gas pedal down for the full 80 minutes today.”

Tyler Allred had three saves for Lake City (11-0-1, 6-0-1 IEL), which hosts Post Falls on Thursday.

“It was a great competitive game,” Lake City coach Alan Rich said. “Just what you would expect from two undefeated teams near the end of the season. We were a little flat in our previous game, so it was nice to see our guys respond with a great come from behind win. The guys stayed composed, never panicked and several players stepped up for a really solid team win.”

Coeur d’Alene (9-1-0, 6-1-0) hosts Sandpoint next Tuesday.

First half — 1, Cd’A, Isaac Fritts (Wyatt Smalley), 10:00. 2, Cd’A, Cooper Prohaska (Fritts), 18:00. 3, LC, Noah Janzen (Kohrt Weber), 30:00. Second half — 4, LC, Janzen (unassisted), 55:00. 5, LC, Jacob Molina (Tyler Gasper), 70:00. 6, LC, Connor Jump (unassisted), 78:00.

Post Falls 1

Moscow 0

MOSCOW — Lance Gilmor scored on an assist from Andon Brandt in the 72nd minute to send the Trojans past the Bears in an Inland Empire League match at the Moscow Community Playfields.

“We’re getting there, but it’s baby steps,” Post Falls coach Gabe Lawson said. “But we’ll take it. We kept building up pressure and Lance and Andon played a nice combo up top and Lance beat their keeper. The guys were really good about making those adjustments at the half. The shots were coming, but it was a question of if they were going to fall for us. And they did.”

Kael McGowan had one save for Post Falls (2-8-0, 1-5-0 IEL), which plays at Lake City on Thursday.

Lake City 6

Coeur d’Alene 0

COEUR d’ALENE — It’s a group that has been paying off all season, and did again for the Timberwolves in a home match at the Irma Anderl Soccer Complex.

Forward Elliotte Kortus, Taytum Curtis and Reagan Cherry had two goals each in an Inland Empire League victory over the Vikings.

“Our front line had great connections all day today,” Lake City coach Matt Ruchti said. “Even though she didn’t score, Georgia (Whitehead) was a handful and drew a lot of attention. Taytum had some good goals, Reagan had some really good moments in limited minutes and Elliotte just had a lot of moments with the ball. In all aspects, the girls knew what their matchups were. Coeur d’Alene, they make you work for everything and earn it.”
