BAINBRIDGE — Teanna Clark of the Port Angeles Roughriders scored a penalty kick in the 62nd minute, giving her team a 1-0 lead over the fifth-ranked Bainbridge Spartans, who had only conceded one goal in their Olympic League season. Despite the upset alert, the Spartans rallied to score twice, securing a 2-1 victory over a young Roughriders team that played its best game of the year.
The Roughriders, now 9-8, remain in contention for a state tournament berth. They face Steilacoom (11-2-4) tomorrow night at Steilacoom, with kickoff set for 7 p.m. A Roughrider win would advance them to a winner-to-state, loser-out game on Saturday against the loser of the North Kitsap vs. Fife matchup.
