Bulldogs girls blank Moscow 5-0

SANDPOINT — The two Brittanys — Clawson and Oakley — each scored two goals and Bailey Hewitt added a goal and an assist as Sandpoint blanked visiting Moscow 5-0 Thursday afternoon in Inland Empire League girls soccer action at Centennial Field.

The Bulldogs (3-0, 3-0) posted their second shutout in three games, largely on the strength of an experienced back four and the goal keeping of newcomer Kelsey Windju.

"She's gaining confidence," said coach Adam Tajan of Windju. "She's a super competitive kid, which is something we've missed in goal keepers past."

Tajan liked how patient his team was with possession when they got near the goal, a trait they'll need to master as teams will pack it in defensively to try and limit the Bulldogs' ample firepower.

Sandpoint plays at Eisenhower tomorrow at 4 p.m.

First half — 1, Spt, Bailey Hewitt (penalty kick) 3:44. 2, Spt, Brittany Oakley (unassisted) 10:50. 3, Spt, Oakley (Hewitt) 29:40. 4, Spt, Brittany Clawson (unassisted) 36:20. Second half — 5, Spt, Clawson (Oakley) 43:00.

Shots on goal — Spt 12, Mos 8.

Saves — Spt, Kelsey Windju 8; Mos, Amanda Shull 10.
