The Bonners Ferry boys’ soccer squad defeated
the St. Maries Lumberjacks 4-0 last Thursday to
improve their IML record to 2-0.
Junior forward Chase Dinning opened the scoring
in the 32nd minute to give the Badgers a 1-0
halftime lead. In the 55th minute senior
midfielder Victor Mendez placed a perfect
crossing pass to senior defender Cameron Woods,
who cranked in an 18-yard shot to double the
Badger lead.
Sophomore midfielder Jake Tremble added an
unassisted goal in the 64th minute, and junior
midfielder Steffen Robles converted in the 69th
to complete the scoring for Bonners Ferry
(2-0-1).
Sophomore goaltender Caleb Blackmore recorded
his second league shutout, while the back four
defending crew of senior Oscar Lopez and juniors
Matthew Gray, Trevor Pew, and Collin Stone
repeatedly denied the Lumberjacks any good
scoring opportunities.
The Badgers travelled to north Spokane on
Monday, September 9 to face Northwest Christian.
Bonners allowed two early goals, but answered
just prior to halftime when senior defender
Jesus Mendez volleyed a 25-yard shot off a nice
pass from Lopez to make the score 2-1.
The Badgers played well most of the game,
controlling possession and tempo throughout the
contest, and continued to press for the
equalizing goal.
The Crusaders countered the Badger pressure and
scored two late goals before Robles tallied off
an assist from Jesus Mendez, making the final
4-2 in favor of NWC.
Even in defeat, the boys played well and
hopefully gained experience for later in the
season.
The Badgers are on the road for the next three
games, facing Sandpoint, St. George’s and Moscow
before returning home to face Libby at 6 p.m.
