SEQUIM — Led by two goals from Thomas Winfield, the Wolves poured in three goals in the first five minutes of the second half to take down the Redhawks.

“We played pretty darn well,” Sequim coach Dave Brasher said of Tuesday’s game.

“We kind of dominated the first half, we outshot them 8-3, but we couldn’t put one on goal.”

That all changed soon after the second half kickoff.

“Liam Harris tracked down a ball headed for the keeper, deflected the clearance, controlled it and shot,” Brasher said.

Winfield added a goal a minute later when he forced a turnover at around the 25-yard mark and “hit a ripper to the upper right corner,” according to Brasher.

“So, two minutes in, two quality goals,” Brasher said.

Winfield added his second score in the 45th minute when he scored off a right-to-left cross from Harris.

Josiah Urquia made it 4-0 for the Wolves when he knocked in a cross by Lane Danielson in the 75th minute.

Port Townsend’s Bennet Fischer snapped the shutout with a goal in the 78th minute.

“I’d like to say it was my awesome halftime speech, but I can’t remember what I told them,” Brasher said with a laugh.

“We basically just stuck with it, and the goals came.”

Austin Wagner made five saves in goal.

“Our defense played real well, too. Evan James, Christian Benson and JT McElhose were pretty solid in the back,” Brasher said.

“And Cameron Chase played a pretty nice game in center midfield.”

The Wolves (1-3-0, 4-4-0) are back in Olympic League 2A Division action at Bremerton (2-3, 2-5-1) today.

The Redhawks (3-3-1) begin 1A Division play today at Coupeville (3-4-1).
