SHS blanks Post Falls, 5-0

SANDPOINT - Adam Crossingham blasted two goals and Ben Murray had three assists to pace the Sandpoint attack in a 5-0 win over Post Falls Tuesday night in Inland Empire League action at War Memorial Field.

Daniel Anderson scored his team-leading ninth goal, Tanner French added his first goal of the season and Tanner Williams also scored for the Bulldogs (6-1, 2-1 IEL). Corey Hoffman posted a shutout while filling in for starting goalie Shawnn Carlson, who sat out the game with a bruised shin.

"Corey stepped in and did a great job. He had a good time and did everything we needed him to," said Bulldogs coach Randy Thoreson, whose team has outscored its opponents 30-2 on the year. "Our object is to not let anybody hang around. Soccer can be a strange game."

Nathan Gonzales had seven saves in goal for the younger Trojans (1-2, 1-2 IEL).

"Playing against a quality team like Sandpoint lets you know what you can improve," said Post Falls coach Gabe Lawson. "It shows us what our gaps are and what we need to fix."
