Soccer splits week with loss in Rainshadow rivalry
Sequim boys soccer team returned all but one senior for the April 28 game at Olympic with Colten Anderson and Jaeyden Halladay returning from injury, helping the Wolves to a 2-1 victory on penalty kicks to remain in the upper half of the Olympic League standings.
The Wolves got off to a strong start with Anderson combining with Colten Wagner only for the Olympic goalkeeper to deny Wagner with an outstanding save.
In the sixth minute, a Halladay throw-in found Anderson, who beat three players before placing the ball past the goalkeeper to give Sequim a 1-0 lead.
Coach Ian McCallum said Sequim dominated the play throughout the first half with Ayden Peters putting in an outstanding performance at center defense, but weren’t able to get the finishing touch.
But with three minutes remaining, a breakaway from Olympic saw their forward awarded a penalty kick and the Trojans were able to tie up the game.
Following two 5-minute overtime periods, the game went to PKs. Anderson, Bjorn Henrikson Peters, scored with keeper Kaiden Tosland making a big save to allow Finn Braaten to step up and score the winning penalty kick, giving the Wolves a 4-3 win.
On Friday night, Port Angeles earned a sweep over Sequim this season, but it wasn’t easy in a defensive, low-scoring 2-0 victory in Sequim. It was the first time the Riders have won a game in Sequim since 2018.
The win likely locked up second place in the Olympic League for the Riders while Sequim remains in the top half of the standings in fourth place.
The Riders got off to a fast start, scoring just 90 seconds into the match. Matthew Miller got an assist when he made a quick pass, springing Tanner Lagrange down the right wing. Lagrange hit a perfect shot to the far post.
Port Angeles got its second goal shortly afterward in the 14th minute. Grant Butterworth kicked the ball to midfield where Kanyon Anderson made a perfect header pass, this time springing Miller past the Wolves’ defense down the left wing. Miller scored with his left foot to the far post
“We got off to a slow start,” McCallum said. “After that second goal, we were right there with them. We were disappointed in the start, but we left the field satisfied with how we finished.”
The game then settled into a defensive battle, with neither team having a lot of dangerous chances after that. Sequim’s best chance came in the 29th minute when Nico Musso got the rebound off a free kick and hit a powerful shot from distance that got past Port Angeles keeper Maverick Williams but trickled a couple of feet wide of the far post.
Tosland was busy in the second half, but the Riders were never able to get another shot past the Sequim keeper. His best stop might have been on Miller in the 44th minute. Miller got behind the Sequim defense and Tosland made the decision to come way out of goal to cut the angle, giving Miller no room to shoot.
A minute later, Tosland stopped a dangerous crossing pass with a pair of Riders forward lurking, ready to shoot. Miller had a golden chance for a second goal when Tosland came out of goal to make a solid save on a hard shot in the 65th minute. In stoppage time, Tosland made another fantastic save, literally stopping the ball between his legs while sitting on the ground. Despite all the second-half action, the game ended 2-0.
McCallum said Tosland has been playing like this all season for the Wolves.
“He’s been our MVP all season long and he’s getting better and better,” McCallum said. “I don’t think there’s a better goalkeeper in the league.”
Sequim was set to finish the regular season at North Kitsap on Tuesday and would lock up fourth place with a win.
