Girls Soccer North Kitsap 2, Port Angeles 1 OT

POULSBO — Two late goals sunk the Roughriders in a fight for first place with the Vikings.

Port Angeles held a slim 1-0 lead for 73 minutes, allowed a goal just before the end of regulation and lost on a North Kitsap strike in the second OT.

The Riders jumped out to a quick lead in the seventh minute when Kyrsten McGuffey played a perfect pass to Millie Long who beat her defender and sent a well-placed shot past the Viking keeper.

The game see-sawed back and forth with both teams coming close on scoring opportunities.

A shot by Port Angeles freshman Catie Brown glanced off the crossbar, while North Kitsap nearly equalized on a counterattack, only to be stymied by the central duo of Bella Money and Lucah Folden.

“We played a really solid game through the first 60 minutes,” said Riders coach Scott Moseley. “We moved into a more defensive formation over the last seven minutes, but it wasn’t enough.”

The Vikings earned a corner kick with 10 seconds left that was initially saved by goalie Madi Roening, but North Kitsap converted on the loose ball to earn the overtime.

In overtime, both teams were scoreless through the first five minutes, but a long ball sent in by the Vikings wasn’t cleared properly and North Kitsap headed in the game-winning goal.

Port Angeles (3-1-0, 5-2-0) moves to third place in the Olympic League behind league unbeatens Olympic (4-0-0, 6-1-0) and North Kitsap (4-0-0, 4-1-1). The Riders visit fourth-place Bremerton (3-2-0, 3-2-1) on Tuesday.
