Port Angeles, 2 Kingston 0
KINGSTON — The Roughriders evened their record at 5-5, beating Kingston 2-0 on the road.
Port Angeles (3-4, 5-5) sits one game out of the playoff picture, and are looking for a strong final five games to move into postseason position, according to coach Scott Moseley.
“We are approaching every game as a playoff game. We’ve been playing well but came up short in some games and have some ground to make up, ” Moseley said.
The game was typical of the Riders’ season, Moseley said, with a lot of of midfield play but few shots on goal by either team. Port Angeles finished with six shots and five on goal while Kingston managed four shots, with three on target.
After a scoreless first half, Emily Boyd took a pass from Sierra Robinson in front of goal in the 58th minute and calmly finished to the Kingston keeper’s side.
Boyd earned her second goal of the match when central defender Shanzi Cosgrove lofted a long ball over the Kingston defense. Boyd read the ball perfectly and finished cleanly again.
“I was just remembering all the fundamentals, and that it’s more about placement than power,” Boyd said.
Cosgrove gave credit to the team play throughout the game.
“I thought we worked really hard as a team on both offense and defense. We were creative with our passing and the assist happened because we read the game and how they were playing,” she said.
Moseley also praised the play of Rider goalie Madelyn Wenzl.
“Mads made some nice saves, held on to some difficult crosses and made all the right decisions,” he said.
“It was amazing to get another shutout, with also having the defensive line having a good game,” said Wenzl.
The Riders host Bremerton tonight at Civic Field.
Sequim 2, Coupeville 0
SEQUIM — In a clash of Wolves, the Sequim side came out on top in a nonleague game betwen the 1A and 2A teams.

The first half ended 0-0 but Sequim came out the second half and attacked the goal with fluidity and more fight, said Vander Velde. Senior Abby Hanstead and freshman Hope Glasser scored goals for Sequim. Sequim had seven shots on goal.
Vander Velde thought Choie Sparks, Cristina Williams and Adare McMinn all stood out for his team.
