When the final whistle blew, the rain-soaked, cheering Providence Classical Christian School boys soccer fans applauded the players on the field.

The high school soccer team crushed LaConnor, 13-0, for its first victory on Wednesday in Kirkland. Junior captain Justin Hatcher said that the match was an “incredible win” and “a fantastic start to the season.”

“We possessed the ball well and showed that we are winners,” Hatcher continued.

Many of the players, including freshman Preston Robertstad, scored during the game. Robertstad’s first goal in a high school soccer game came in the 18th minute with an assist from senior captain Joe Moisant.

The Highlanders went on to win a close game, 1-0, against Orcas Christian School on Friday. Sophomore striker Bradley Johnson scored during the 56th minute, assisted by Moisant. Senior goalie Jackson Morris earned both shut-outs.

Providence is now 2-0 on the season.

Bailey Robertstad is a senior at Providence Classical Christian School in Kirkland.
