POST FALLS — Traveling Moscow found its first boys soccer win of the season on Saturday, going ahead after only five minutes of play and riding its advantage all the way to a 1-0 finish against the host Post Falls Trojans.
Jonas Mordhorst passed to Ty Kindelspire for a kick into the upper-left corner of the goal in what would prove to be the lone score of the day — though the Bears (1-4, 1-3 Inland Empire League) had many more looks, tallying 19 shots. Moscow goalkeeper Wyatt Thornycroft was credited with two saves in the shutout.
“We had a couple things click for us,” Moscow coach Caleb Brooks said. “We had a kind of a breakthrough; we went for more attacking, and we’re expecting some similar results in the next week.”
