Pirate squad gets first win vs. Lane

Peninsula gave their home fans a treat before their first big road trip.

The Pirates’ Ellen Rodgers broke a 1-1 tie with a score 73 minutes in and held on for a 2-1 win against Lane on Sept. 12 at Civic Field in Port Angeles.

Peninsula opened the scoring at the 23-minute mark when Kimberly Jones poked a shot in, but Lane’s Bre Garcia tied the game about seven minutes before halftime.

The second half was scoreless for 28 minutes before Jackie Rodgers found Ellen Rodgers for the game-winner.

Peninsula is on the road for the next three games: Sept. 15 at Southwest Oregon (Coos Bay), Sept. 16 at Clark (Vancouver, Wash.) and Sept. 24 at Clackamas (Ore.).
