Pirate men blast North Idaho, 3-1
Home, sweet home. Peninsula’s men got a big win in their first appearance of the 2015 season on their home field Saturday and exacted a bit of revenge as well. David Joyce opened the scoring at the 13-minute mark and Keo Ponce added a pair of goals at 24 and 32 minutes as Peninsula upended North Idaho College — the team that knocked P.C. out of the NWAC playoff quarterfinals last fall — by a 3-1 count on Sept. 5.
Nick Johnson recorded the win in goal for the Pirates, making three saves.
Peninsula is back in action Sept. 9 with a home match against Bellevue; game time is 2 p.m.
P.C. women race to 4-0 start
It’s good to be the Pirates. P.C. opened its 2015 campaign with four wins in as many matches heading into a Sept. 9 home match against Bellevue College.
The Pirates won all three games in a Springfield, Ore., tourney. On Aug. 29, they topped Treasure Valley 2-0 a rematch of the 2014 NWAC quarterfinals. On Aug. 30 they scored a 3-0 win against Columbia Basin and had an 11-0 whitewashing of Gray’s Harbor.
On Aug. 29 in their home opener, the Pirates knocked off North Idaho 5-0, getting a hat trick (three goals) from Lexi Krieger and scores from Brenda Torres-Hernandez and Kennady Whitehead. Keeper Manaia Siania-Unutoa recorded the shutout for P.C., needing to make just two saves.
