SPORTS: Peninsula College soccer teams destroy Skagit Valley

PORT ANGELES — The Peninsula College men’s and women’s soccer teams put on a clinic against hapless Skagit Valley on Wednesday at Wally Sigmar Field.

The Pirates’ undefeated women’s team (6-0-0 overall) ripped the Cardinals (1-3-2) 13-0 behind hat tricks by Ashlyn Crossan and Alexandra Rojas-Ayala.

The Peninsula men, meanwhile, gave longtime coach Andrew Chapman his 100th victory with a 9-0 trouncing of the Cardinals.

Chapman is starting his 10th season for the Pirates.

After starting 1-16-1 his first year and only winning five games the following year, the program has only gone forward.

This is a big milestone in college.

“This is a great accomplishment not only for me but for the college itself,” Chapman said.

“The guys every year work really hard and helped make this possible. After only winning one game my first year and with Peninsula College being the smallest school in the NWAACC that has men’s soccer, I am not sure I thought reaching 100 wins in 10 seasons could have happened.

“With a very supportive administration, it does make my life a lot easier.”

Pirates 9, Cardinals 0

The men’s scoring was spread out as multiple-scoring honors went to only two players, Henrique Noujeimi and Alex Martinez, who scored the first goal seven minutes into the game.

Noujeimi and Martinez scored two goals each.

“These games can be scary,” Chapman said.

“You never know how the other team will react, but [Skagit Valley was] first class and we didn’t get any injuries.

“We were able to play all players. We have a tough game on Saturday against Treasure Valley, so hopefully we will be rested and healthy.”

Others scoring goals for the Pirates were Irvin Somera, Daniel Gonzalez, Erick Urzua, Morgan Lemus and Matias Oliveira.

Urzua and Yoshi Tamukai led in assists with two each.

Other assists went to Brodi Keefe, Martinez, Gonzalez, Braiden Gundlach and Luiz Augusto.

The Pirates, 1-0 in the West Division and 6-1-0 overall, outshot the Cardinals (0-1 in North, 2-3-0 overall) 22-4.

Guilherme Avelar and Angel Guerra shared in the shutout, Avelar blanking the Cards in the first half and Guerra doing the same in the second half.

The Peninsula men and women now will host Treasure Valley of Ontario, Ore., on Saturday with the women playing at noon and the men following at 2 p.m. at Wally Sigmar Field.
