PORT ANGELES — In soccer action last night, Port Angeles survived a first-half downpour to get by Bremerton 2-0. The Roughriders, now 4-2 in league and 6-2 overall, scored both goals in the first half from freshman Emma Desjardins, who notched her ninth and tenth goals of the season.
Port Angeles had several near-misses on quality shots, while the defense was solid again. Goalie Kennedy Rognlien earned her fifth shutout of the year, with strong play from defenders Sophia Ritchie, Maddie Walton, and Cayleigh Alward. Walton started in place of Brooke Pierce, who is day-to-day with a hip flexor. The Riders will host a tough Kingston Buccaneers team Thursday night at 7:15.
