Coupeville won the girls soccer match against rival South Whidbey 2-1 on Tuesday.

The Falcons’ lone goal came from freshman Celeste Hernandez near the end of the first half, drawing the score to a 1-1 tie.

The Wolves broke ahead in the second half and held on for the season-opening victory over their former league rival. Given what Falcon team captain Olivia Bolding said in the season preview, that her father jokingly tells her if she loses to Coupeville she sleeps in the garage, Bolding better dress warmly.

South Whidbey has a pair of home matches Sept. 16 and Sept. 18.
