BONNERS FERRY — Three second-half goals allowed Bonners Ferry to pull away from Priest River boys soccer on Tuesday night for a 4-1 Intermountain League win.
"It was a better game than last year's first Bonners Ferry game, but not a good game overall," head coach Daryl Hall said. "The team had a great first half. The second half they found themselves out of step and playing on their heels."
Nick Eastman struck first for the Badgers in the 11th minute. Senior Bradley Gleason scored the lone goal for the Spartans in the 31st minute.
Bonners Ferry took a 2-1 lead five minutes into the second half and added a pair of scores into the final minutes to seal the victory. Eastman and Peter Regan each scored two goals for the Badgers.
Bonners Ferry outshot Priest River 27-8. Junior goalkeeper Luke Butler made 14 saves.
The Spartans (1-2, 1-1 IML) travel to Timberlake on Thursday.
