PORT ANGELES — The Peninsula College men’s and women’s soccer teams ended the regular season with a tie and a win against Bellevue.
The men’s team, a perfect 12-0-0 in NWAACC competition coming into the game, had its first blemish of the year with a 1-1 tie against Bellevue at Wally Sigmar Field on Saturday.
Peninsula’s women held off Bellevue 2-1.
Fans should not despair about the men’s team, though, because the Pirates weren’t playing at full force.
“With our quarterfinal game a week away, this was a good game to get under our belt,” Peninsula men’s coach Andrew Chapman said.
“We were able to rest players, play others and try new things. Even though the game didn’t go the way we would have liked it, this could be a blessing.
“Last year we went the entire season without having this feeling [of not winning] to only lose in the semifinals.”
Bellevue scored first as Juan Ramirez hit the back of the net at 48 minutes.
But Peninsula’s Alex Martinez tied it up at 55 minutes.
Bryan Forbes had the assist for Bellevue while Omar Ambrocio earned the assist for the Pirates.
The Pirates outshot Bellevue 14-4 but just couldn’t get a second goal.
