PREP ROUNDUP: Charter outlasts Timberlake girls

• GIRLS SOCCER

POST FALLS — As the temperatures climbed to the triple digits, both Timberlake and Coeur d’Alene Charter did what was needed to get through the Intermountain League match. 

Charter did just one more thing. 

Sierra Sheppard scored on an assist from Reagan Meine in the 32nd minute for the Panthers, who beat the Tigers 1-0 at The Fields on Wednesday. 

The game, originally scheduled for 4 p.m., was pushed back to 5 p.m., due to high temperatures. It was 98 degrees at kickoff. The boys match, scheduled for 6, was moved back to 7.

“It was hot, smoky and on turf, it wasn’t our best performance,” Coeur d’Alene Charter coach Stacy Smith said. “But it was enough and sometimes that is all you can ask for. Probably the thing I was most pleased about what that we were able to weather the storm after missing several opportunities in the first half. Finally putting one in the back of the net before half gave us a little boost.” 

Coeur d’Alene Charter (2-0, 2-0 IML) travels to Bonners Ferry next Tuesday. 

Timberlake (1-3, 1-2) travels to Lakeland on Saturday. 

“Timberlake brought the pressure, and we were able to change our formation and personnel to make it work,” Smith said. “I’m happy with the result, but we still have a little work to do.” 

First half — 1, Charter, Sierra Sheppard (Reagan Meine), 32:00. Second half — none. 

Shots on goal — TL 4, Charter 11. 

Saves — TL, Ali Grantham 10; Charter, Adysen Robinson 1, Merle Kerkhof 4.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. — The Timberwolves improved to 4-0-1 on the season with a win over the Blue Devils.

St. Maries 5 

Priest River 0 

PRIEST RIVER — Senior Rebecca Dittman scored two goals for the Lumberjacks in a season-opening win over the Spartans late Tuesday at Priest River High. 

“This was a great opening game for our girls watching them play together as a unified team,” St. Maries coach Amber Morris said. “So many things we have worked on over the years are coming together, and it’s wonderful.” 

St. Maries travels to Timberlake next Tuesday. 

First half — 1, SM, Rebecca Dittman (unassisted), 15:00. 2, SM, Dittman (penalty kick), 23:00. 3, SM, Nisha Banjao (Kelli Kenneally), 26:00. 4, SM, Millie Reid (unassisted), 38:00. Second half — 5, SM, Kaylynn Boyett (unassisted), 74:00.

POST FALLS — Junior Pietro Attolini had two goals and junior Taylor Smith had a goal and assist for the Panthers in an Intermountain League win over the Tigers at The Fields. 

“We started off slow,” Coeur d’Alene Charter coach Craig Daigle said. “Timberlake plays five, sometimes six in the box and it took us some time to figure it out. I was happy with our second half. We moved the ball around nicely and felt like we controlled the pace of play.”
