Williams, Bauer lead Bulldogs to shutout win

WHITEFISH, Mont. — Tanner Williams scored two more goals, and the streaking Sandpoint Bulldogs boys soccer team got a strong game between the pipes from Kanyen Bauer, blanking Whitefish High School 4-0 in nonleague action on Saturday.

Williams has now scored 11 goals in the first four games, and the torrid Bulldogs (3-0-1) have created chances and finished to the tune of 24 goals to start the season.

Senior Kanyen Bauer posted his first shutout of the season in goal, earning high praise from his head coach in the process.

“Kanyen had a lights out game,” said Adam Tajan of his first year varsity goalie. “He’s starting to come around and play with a lot more confidence, and he has the athleticism to make plays and keep us in the games.”

Shane Stanley scored his sixth goal of the season, and Joab Logan also found the back of the net as the Bulldogs beat a team that has won two of the last four state titles in the second biggest class in Montana.

The Bulldogs host Lake City on Monday.
