PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles held off Class 2A state girls soccer power Lindbergh of Renton 3-2 at Civic Field on Saturday.
“This was one of our better games of the year,” coach Scott Moseley said.
“We came out and competed against one of the top-notch teams in the state and got a hard-earned win.”
The Roughriders (4-3-1) got the victory despite being outshot 16-9.
The Riders, who never trailed, led 2-1 at halftime with Kathryn Moseley scoring off a 30-yard shot in the 13th minute on a Shayla Northern assist.
Kaitlin Boston made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute on a Kathryn Moseley assist.
Lindbergh scored just before the halftime whistle.
“That was a long first half,” Scott Moseley said. “I think the half ended on the 41st or 42nd minute.”
Defender Paxton Rodocker put the game away with a goal on a penalty kick at the 50th minute. Lindbergh scored the final goal at the 80th minute.
“Again, that felt more like the 81st or 82nd minute,” Scott Moseley said.
Two goalkeepers combined to make 11 saves.
“Goalkeeper Kearsten Cox had an excellent game,” Scott Moseley said.
Cox received co-defensive player of the game honors along with Rodocker, while Kathryn Moseley was named transition player and Boston the offensive player of game.
The Riders host Port Townsend on Tuesday in their first Olympic League game.
