PORT ANGELES — Bainbridge proved to be too much for the Port Angeles boys soccer team, handing the Roughriders a 4-1 loss. The Riders’ lone goal came in the 58th minute, when Kanyon Anderson sent in a perfect corner kick that found the head of Grant Butterworth, who knocked it home for the score.

Last year, she started 44 games, hit .285, drove in 16 runs, scored 25 times, and recorded 11 doubles and three home runs.
