Prep Sports: Wolves top Riders on the pitch

 

Boys soccer

At home or away, Sequim seems to have Port Angeles’ number.

The Wolves jumped to a 2-0 lead early in the second half and held off a comeback by their peninsula rivals with a late score by Ron Welches in a 3-1 win on April 19.

Omar Flores opened the scoring at 29 minutes off an Eli Berg feed to give Sequim a 1-0 halftime lead. Mason Barrett made it 2-0 off a Welches assist. Port Angeles halved that lead when Miki Andrus netted a score in the 58th minute, but Flores set up Welches with the game-clincher two minutes later.

Sequim is 2-0 against the Roughriders this season.

Sequim (6-3-1) was slated to take on Klahowya on April 16 — results were not available at press time. The Wolves host Bremerton on April 18.
