COLLEGE SOCCER: PC men, women sweep at Edmonds

EDMONDS — The Peninsula College men’s soccer team got a goal in the 88th minute to pull out a 2-1 road win over Edmonds to keep its season record perfect.

Meanwhile, the Peninsula women cruised with a 9-0 win over Edmonds, as they scored seven goals in the second half.

The men’s game was knotted up at 0-0 until the 61st minute when Nil Grau broke through for an unassisted goal.

Edmonds bounced right back with a goal in the 78th minute.

The game appeared headed to a tie with only minutes remaining when Jamie Joyce got the go-ahead goal just two minutes before the end of regulation. His goal was assisted by Grau.

Edmonds had just the one shot on goal as Peninsula had seven shots on goal.

The women’s game was likewise close early. The Pirates scored in the first 23 seconds on an unassisted goal by Shiori Shintaku. Lauren Lases added a goal in the 18th minute, but the score remain 2-0 into the half.

In the second half, the Pirates erupted for three goals in seven minutes early, then added another four goals in the last 10 minutes of the match for the final margin.

Shawn Larson and Kyla Hughes each finished with two goals, while Risa Nishida, Desiree Dutra and Paige Johnson all had goals, while Jaeda Mae Edayan had an assist.

The Peninsula women (2-0, 4-0) play their first home North Region game at Wally Sigmar Field at 5 p.m. Wednesday against a good Everett team (1-0, 3-1-1), while the Peninsuan men (2-0, 5-0) play a solid Everett men’s team (1-0, 5-1) at 7:15 p.m.
