Charles Wright Academy knocked the Coupeville High School soccer team out of the playoffs with a 5-2 win at University Place Saturday, May 9.

The Terriers’ win came in the loser-out, first round of the District 3 1A tournament.

“We have a bad habit of conceding early goals,” Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson said, and that trent continued as Charles Wright (10-3) scored quickly in each half.

Five minutes into the game, the Terriers scored their first goal. Coupeville (3-12) countered with a goal from Abraham Leyva Elenes off an assist from Tanner Kircher, and teams went into the break tied 1-1.

Just three minutes into the second half, Charles Wright took the lead for good.

“We had a hard time keeping them out from there,” Nelson said.

“It was quite warm at game time and that might have drained us a bit by the second half. The boys did keep battling, and we were able to get one more goal towards the end of the game.”

Sebastian Davis tallied the goal with an assist from Leyva Elenes.
