BREMERTON — The Roughriders moved into a tie for third in the Olympic League with Sequim after a close victory over the Trojans.
Miki Andrus scored for the Riders off an assist from Angel Rivero in the 16th minute of Thursday’s match.
Port Angeles created several good chances throughout the match, but failed to capitalize.
“[We] struggled with the passing game on the [artificial] turf, and Olympic’s offsides trap caught [us] offsides frequently,” Riders coach Chris Saari said.
The Trojans put some pressure on Port Angeles, but freshman goalkeeper Keenan Leslie cleaned up a lot of crosses and made a couple good saves. It was Leslie’s second shutout of the season.
“It wasn’t a pretty game or win, but we got the result and we know we need to improve our overall game playing away games on turf,” Saari said.
He named Andrus as the team’s offensive player of the match and credited Leslie and Vincent Ioffrida as the defensive players of the match.
Port Angeles (6-4, 9-5) wraps up the regular season with a road game at North Mason on Wednesday.
