In an exasperating match with Mount Vernon Christian, Coupeville finally eked out a 1-0 win but also took a loss Tuesday, Sept. 30, at Mickey Clark Field.

The Wolves dominated the action but had nothing to show for it until Micky LeVine, with an assist from Erin Rosenkranz, scored late in the game to break up the scoreless tie.

Moments later, however, defensive standout Jennifer Spark went down with a knee injury to darken the mood of the nonleague win over the Hurricanes (2-5).

The Wolves (3-2) head to Bremerton (1-4) for a match with a 2A Olympic League team at 6:45 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9.

That match will be followed by the final non-conference contest at noon Saturday, Oct. 11, at Crosspoint Academy (4-3-1) in Bremerton.

Crosspoint, the defending 2B state champion, is led by Emma Laurion. Laurion lived in Coupeville as a youngster and got her start in soccer on Central Whidbey.

Heading into this season, Laurion had 82 goals, 62 assists and three all-state selections.
