COEUR d'ALENE - Dylan Flolo scored on an assist from Rikki McCaw in the 10th minute for the Timberwolves in a nonleague draw against the Bears at the Irma Anderl Soccer Complex.

"We should have won this one easily," Lake City coach Chad Beadell said. "Not to take anything from Moscow, but we just didn't finish today. We've got an old group of guys that should be able to finish. It's frustrating to work that hard and not get it in the back of the net. I'm a little disappointed and they are too. When we have chances, we should put them away."

Lake City (5-4-2) hosts Post Falls on Thursday.

POST FALLS - Reece Jackson scored two second-half goals as the Trojans beat the Hawks in a nonleague match.

"It was our senior night, so we played the seniors for a good chunk in the first half," Post Falls coach Gabe Lawson said. "In the second half, we made some adjustments and played a lot harder and with more tenacity and it paid off. They were tracking Timmy (Mueller) all day, so it was leaving Reece open and he capitalized on his opportunities."

Cade Coffey had six saves for Lakeland (6-6-1), which hosts Sandpoint on Thursday.

"Cade had a phenomenal game," Lawson said. "All of those saves were well earned."
