Despite numerous scoring opportunities, the Coupeville High School soccer team couldn't drive home a goal in a 1-0 loss to Sultan Thursday, Oct. 20, at Mickey Clark Field.

The Wolves (0-13, 1-13) finish up the regular season Saturday, Oct. 22, with Lakewood (10-3, 11-3-1) here at 2 p.m. Coupeville will host a district game Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 5 p.m.

The loss to Sultan marred Senior Night celebrations for  Grace LaPoint, Cassidi Rosenkrance and Amanda Montana.

The Turks (2-11, 2-13) scored the game's only goal 10 minutes into the match and withstood a dozen chances by Coupeville to snare the win.

Coupeville coach Mike Thornton said, "The girls played very hard and deserved better. We had about 12 to 15 quality shots but came up short. I was proud of the team tonight as every player gave their full for 80 minutes."
