Tenino earns league win by blowing out Chief Leschi

Posted

Offense came easy for the Tenino boys soccer team for most of the night against Chief Leschi on Tuesday, as the Beavers ran away with a 12-0 victory on the blacktop.

“Anytime you can get a league win, it's great,” Tenino coach Trevor Fetbrandt said. “Although we’re an incredibly young group, we are more experienced than they were. We had a lot of things going in our favor and we wanted to maximize it.”

Miguel Espinoza opened the scoring in the first minute of the game, and he had a hat trick by the 14th minute.

Carlos Sanchezscored in the 23rd minute, and Radly Whitaker made it 5-0 in the 30th. Tyler Minerich scored a goal of his own in the 33rd, and Whitaker made it 7-0 with his second of the half just minutes later.

At halftime, Fetbrandt urged his team to stay focused despite the scoreline.

“Can we execute a lot of the principles and concepts we talk about?” Fetbrandt said. “The second half was executed astronomically better.”

The Beavers added five more in the second half, including a fourth from Espinoza, and didn’t allow a single chance defensively.

Tenino (1-1, 1-0 1A Evergreen) will be back at home on Thursday to face Montesano.
