Cruiser boys soccer scores two big wins

After dropping their season-opening match to Montesano the previous week, 4-1, the Eatonville boys soccer team headed to Spanaway to try and corral the 3A Bethel Bison on March 20 at Art Crate Stadium.

However, the Cruisers picked up their first victory of the season just a few days later when they took on the Forks Spartans at home on March 22.

Tomyn, Bennet Cole, Ryan Hatch, Nicholas Holder and Jake Brannon each contributed with one assist.

Josiah Goode, Gage Cornwell and Brannon all contributed with four defensive stops in the win.

Nathaniel Goode recorded the shutout in goal.

The Cruisers continued their winning ways on Saturday when they defeated the Hoquiam Grizzlies, 5-1, at home.

Rockey found the back of the net four times for the Cruisers while Cole scored as well.

Tomyn had two assists, while Victor Peña Moreno and Alexander Lightfoot each had one assist. Trentten Cressman and Holder led the team with six defensive stops each. Nathaniel Goode had seven blocks/saves in goal to help Eatonville even their record at 2-2.

Eatonville traveled to Ilwaco on Monday to battle with the Fishermen. Results were not available before press time.

The Cruisers finish off the week at home with matches against Tenino and Raymond on Wednesday and Friday. Both home matches start at 7 p.m. at B.W. Lyon Stadium at Eatonville High.
