SOCCER
PORT ANGELES — For the second game in a row, the Roughriders started slow by giving up a goal in the first 90 seconds.
Unlike its game against North Mason, though, Port Angeles was not able to recover on Oct. 14 at Civic Field.
“You can’t give the best team in the league a 1-0 lead in such a short time,” Port Angeles coach Scott Moseley said.
“We weren’t passing well and our work rate was sub-par. They made us pay for that.”
After falling behind 3-0, the Riders did get a goal back when an Emma Moseley free kick bounced around in the box and was finished by junior midfielder Madison St. George.
The Vikings earned a final late tally to make the game 4-1.
Overall, North Kitsap had 28 shots on goal while Port Angeles had nine.
Next: North Kitsap at North Mason Oct. 16. Hosts Sequim at 6:45 p.m., Oct. 21.
