Taking a break from its tough Cascade Conference schedule, the Coupeville boys soccer team flattened nonleague foe Friday Harbor 5-0 Friday, April 16, at Mickey Clark Field.

Coupeville coach Paul Mendes said, “I was pleased we scored early and established ourselves. We took control of the match.”

Mendes was able to play many different combinations and said, “It was nice to see others get involved in the scoring.”

Nevin Miranda, from an assist from Spencer Tack, hit the back of the net just eight minutes into the match.

Coupeville put the contest out of reach over an eight-minute span midway through the first half.

At the 20-minute mark Tony Jansen, with help from Tack, scored. Five minutes later, Jansen scored another goal, this time off an assist from Ben Hayes.

Hayes picked up his own goal in the 28th minute, with the assist going to Riley Quinn.

In the second half, Quinn dished out another assist to Skylar Martyn, who finished the scoring at the 47th minute.

Coupeville (5-4, 6-5) travels twice next week before returning home Tuesday, April 27, to play Lakewood (4-5, 4-7) at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 20, the Wolves are at Archbishop Murphy (6-3, 6-4); two days later they go to Sultan (3-6, 3-8).
