“It was a fast field with new grass,” St. Maries coach Chris Renaldo said. “Our booster club did a nice job of making a big deal about it, and I think the kids enjoyed playing on it. We had a lot of people come out and it was good for the kids.”

For years, St. Maries has played its home soccer games at City Park downtown.

Ben Martin scored in the 34th minute for St. Maries (0-10, 0-8 IML), which travels to Orofino on Thursday.

SANDPOINT — The host Bulldogs wasted no time, scoring six goals in the first 20 minutes en route to a 9-0 Inland Empire League victory over the Bengals at War Memorial Field.

Eoin Eddy scored on a penalty kick four minutes into the contest to start things off. Eddy scored again during the sixth and 15th minute to complete a hat trick; both of those goals were assisted by great lead passes from Jett Longanecker.

Crosby Schmidt, Longanecker, and Connor McClure would also score in the first 20 minutes of the contest, which gave the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead heading into halftime.

In the second half, Henry Barnes was able to score off a great lead pass from Isaac Schmit to extend the Bulldogs’ lead. Later in the half, senior Noah Wagner scored two goals, both assisted by McClure, in the 65th and 66th minute.

“Our mission for this game was to come out strong, press, get some goals early, and then relax, and we did that,” Sandpoint coach Tanner French said. “To get some of the guys who don’t get major minutes on the score sheet, that is just awesome. We’re looking forward to Tuesday’s matchup against Coeur d’Alene.”

Sandpoint (5-3) will travel to Coeur d'Alene to take on the Vikings on Tuesday.

First half — 1, Spt, Eddy (penalty kick), 4:00. 2, Spt, Eddy (J. Longanecker), 6:00. 3, Spt, McClure (Eddy), 12:00. 4, Spt, J. Longanecker (Gion), 13:00. 5, Spt, Eddy (J.

MOSCOW — Senior Austin Parks scored on an assist from senior Hudson Drake in the 79th minute to pull the Hawks within a goal, but time soon ran out in an Inland Empire League loss to the Bears at the Moscow School District Community Playfields.

“We had a lot of opportunities in the first half, but came out flat after riding on the bus and sitting a couple of hours (as the JV game was being played),” Lakeland coach Nick Haynes said. “We were kind of lackadaisical, and once they scored, we woke up a little. But you can’t just play the last 10 minutes. You need to play the entire game.”

POST FALLS — Freshman Sophie Holecek scored a pair of goals to cap the visiting Vikings’ shutout of the Trojans in Inland Empire League play.

“It was good for Sophie to get a couple goals,” Coeur d’Alene coach Andy Vredenburg said. “She’s been knocking on the door for a few games, and it was nice to see her break through.”

Gianna Callari had a goal and two assists for the Vikings (5-3-1, 5-2-1 IEL), which travels to Sandpoint on Tuesday.

“Good bounceback from a tough loss vs. Lake City,” Vredenburg said. “The girls showed up today and created a ton of chances; I wish we could have finished more. But the goals we did have were really good goals; they came from good buildups.”

Sandpoint 1

Lewiston 1

LEWISTON – The Bulldogs settled for their second draw of the season in an Inland Empire League match with the Bengals at Walker Field.

In the first half, Lewiston scored the first goal of the game on a shot from about 30 yards out. With Lilliana Brinkmeier still out at goalkeeper, the Bulldogs knew they had to put pressure on the Bengals to keep things close.

“The first half was slow, but we had a much stronger second half and scored right away to tie the game,” Sandpoint assistant coach Madi Schoening said.

Around the 50th minute, Hope Barnes scored on a corner kick from Ava Glahe.

“We had so many more goal scoring opportunities, but just couldn’t quite get a finish,” Schoening said. “I am proud of their response in the second half. The girls did better finding feet and playing the ball into space for our forwards to run on to. We continued to work on the opening and closing of space, but had to adjust playing on a field that was wider and shorter.”

Schoening said the defense also stepped in the second half as they focused more on marking and protecting the goal.

Sandpoint (6-3-2) will play Coeur d’Alene at home Tuesday.

Grangeville 0

GRANGEVILLE — Senior Alexa Sheppard had five goals and an assist for the Panthers in an Intermountain League win over the Bulldogs at Grangeville High.

Freshman Sierra Sheppard had three assists for Coeur d’Alene Charter.

“We had a focus of keeping possession through connecting simple passes and talking and we were able to achieve both,” Coeur d’Alene Charter coach Stacy Smith said. “Alexa was her dominant self and Mira (Crawford) also did a great job of setting her their less experienced teammates for success today. It was also a great opportunity for some of our younger players to get significant gametime minutes. I’m pleased with what we were able to accomplish today.”

Coeur d’Alene Charter (7-1, 6-0 IML) travels to Post Falls on Monday.

Grangeville is 0-7, 0-6.

First half — 1, Charter, Mira Crawford (Alexa Sheppard), 9:00. 2, Charter, Sierra Sheppard (Julia Peppin), 13:00. 3, Charter, Agnes Nordstadt (S.
