The Roughriders led 4-0 at halftime and cruised to the win, improving to 4-2-1 on the year.

Port Angeles scored three goals in the first 16 minutes as Kurbanjan Mamat, Abinet Hayden, Anthony Brandon and Bobby Stevenson scored the first-half goals for the Riders.

Ali El-Maallam, Mamat, Tamrat Haskins and Brandon all had assists in the first half.

Chris Pieper scored on a free kick for Chimacum in the 47th minute to make it a 4-1 game and to ruin the Riders’ bid for a shutout.

Max Maier scored the final goal for the Riders, in the 66th minute, as Stevenson earned the assist.

“We had some nice passing and some good goals,” Port Angeles coach Chris Saari said.

“The whole team played well and everyone got into the game.”

Goalkeepers Jack Doryland and Forrest Emmett combined for five saves for the Riders.

Mamat was named the offensive player of the match while Sam Beasley was picked as the defensive player and Stevenson was selected as the transition player.

This was the first boys soccer match between Port Angeles and Chimacum.

The Riders next host Olympic in an Olympic League game Wednesday with the site unknown at this point.

It will be played at Civic Field if it is ready or at Roosevelt or Peninsula College if Civic is not ready.
