PREPS: Sequim nets boys soccer victory

SEQUIM — Mekhi Ashby came off the bench to score a second-half goal and James Mason added the winning goal in Sequim’s 2-1 boys soccer win over North Mason at home Thursday.

“The boys defended well in pivotal moments and got key stops,” coach Juan Carlos Cisneros said. “Plus we limited the mistakes in our defending third which had been hurting us in past games.

“We were better in front of the goal finishing our chances in the second half. Our subs played great and contributed on both sides of the ball. Good team win, the boys earned it. Happy to see them come out on top in another close game.”

Cisneros said Ashby and Keaton King were especially effective in reserve in the contest.

Sequim (2-6-0) hosts rival Port Angeles (4-3-1, 5-3-1) on Tuesday. The Roughriders’ home game with Kingston on Thursday was postponed to April 22 after the Buccaneers couldn’t arrange transportation.
