Lake City Rolls In Soccer Opener Despite Using Depleted Lineup

Lake City opened its boys soccer season Tuesday without some of its regular players.

That may be bad news for the rest of the North Idaho Soccer League, though, as the Timberwolves trounced visiting Lewiston 10-1 at Coeur d’Alene.

Philimon Tudor scored three times, and Taylor Facciano and Bo Conley twice apiece for LC.

Missing some players who didn’t have enough practices in, the Timberwolves sputtered for close to 30 minutes until Noah Beck was moved from fullback to midfield. Beck assisted on a pair of goals 1 minute apart, and LC was off to the races.

Lewiston’s Mike Dancy scored off a corner kick for a 1-0 lead.

Also in the league, Wes Sabo totaled three assists and one goal during a 17-minute span of the second half to guide Lakeland over visiting Bonners Ferry 8-0 at Mountain View Middle School.
