Orcas rebounded on Sept. 18 with a win against Cedar Park Christian 5-1 with Anthony Kaskurs, Wylie Kau and Javier Orantes scoring in the first half and Gwydion Marreth and Zach Waage scoring in the second half.

Momentum continued on Sept. 23 with a 3-1 road win against Shoreline Christian.

Sept. 25 brought a rematch with Grace Academy resulting in a 2-1 loss. Tied going into the second half after a Kau goal, Viking defense by William Coe, Skyler Gregg, Luke Bronn and Ivan Velazquez was superb according to Stolmeier, along with “big time” saves by goalkeeper Kaskurs.

“We were missing a few players but Friday Harbor is a methodical, solid team and I believe our team learned a lot,” Stolmeier said.
