SPORTS: Peninsula College men’s soccer team now a perfect 5-0

OLYMPIA — The Peninsula College men’s soccer team put the finishing touches on a perfect nonleague season with a 4-1 victory over South Puget Sound on Tuesday.

Peninsula got goals from four different platers — three coming in a 3-0 second half — as the team moved to 5-0-0 on the season.

Still, Pirates coach Andrew Chapman dwelled more on the things his team didn’t do right Tuesday.

“It is always great to win but today we did not play well,” Chapman said. “We gave up a sloppy goal. We need to do a better job of playing 90 minutes hard.”

Miguel Gonzalez was one of the four Peninsula goal scorers, putting his school record career total at 22. Brother Daniel Gonzalez had a pair of assists for the Pirates, who are off to their best start in school history.

Peninsula next travels to Edmonds on Saturday.
