COEUR d’ALENE — Ronan Sternberg scored the go-ahead goal on an assist from Keaton Gust in the 75th minute to lift the Coeur d'Alene Vikings past the Sandpoint Bulldogs 2-1 in a nonleague match at the Coeur d'Alene High soccer field on Saturday.
After a scoreless first half, Sandpoint’s Jett Longanecker opened the scoring on a free kick in the 57th minute. Coeur d’Alene tied the match on a goal by Garrett Scheuermann in the 73rd.
