PORT ANGELES — Redskin Sebastian Lyons netted a goal in the 72nd minute to salvage a tie against the Riders on Tuesday.

Port Angeles (2-3-1, 3-7-1) went ahead in the 29th minute after Anthony Brandon fed Forrest Epstein for a score. Yet neither team could capitalize on its many chances — Port Townsend outshot Port Angeles 36-23 — until Lyons scored the equalizer.

“We missed some big opportunities, [and] they hit out crossbar three times,” Port Angeles coach Chris Saari said. “We definitely had some finishing problems.”

Freshman goalkeeper Jack Doryland came up with several key saves for the Riders.

Saari named Epstein the offensive player of the match, Max Bukovnik the defensive player and Kyle Bingham the transition player.
