Members of a girls U18 winter league team have recently started their 12-game North Puget Sound League soccer season.

The team is a collaboration between Peninsula College and Storm King Soccer, and part of the college’s ongoing Peninsula Soccer Academy program that matches college coaches with youth soccer players from Sequim and Port Angeles.

The squad opened its season in early December, falling to Bainbridge Island 2-0. The squad rebounded with a 0-0 draw with MSC Impulse Dec. 14 in Bothell, their first away game. Storm King’s Maddie Wenzel had eight saves in the shutout.

An all-Sequim back line of Erin Vig, Lisa Radford and Shae Barrett and Mattie Clark stifled Impulse attack, working possession to Sequim midfielders Gretchen Clark and Heidi Vereide. Storm King counter attacks were instigated by Chloie Sparks and Abby Hanstead in the middle, along with Sierra Robinson, Sophie Radford, Astrid Martin, Saige Hefton and Laura Nutter on the outside.
