Spartan fans are used to seeing Caitlyn Salo score on fast breaks — on the basketball court.

Salo brought her court hustle onto the soccer pitch Tuesday, scoring two breakaway goals in the varsity girls’ 2-0 win over North Kitsap. The close-fought game brought out a good and boisterous crowd to Memorial Stadium on the school year’s eve.

“They were really aggressive,” Salo said of the Viking 11. “They’ve been conditioning for this, but so have we.”

It was a fine debut in the Spartan program for Salo, who has played select-level club soccer but only joined the BHS side in this, her senior year. The varsity basketball standout said she turned out for soccer after several friends told her they regretted not having joined the Spartan program themselves.

“She’s a fighter and she wins balls,” first-year girls varsity coach Anh Tran said of Salo. “She’s a great little addition to our team.”

The Spartans missed several prime opportunities early, failing to convert on an open net when the Viking keeper was pulled out of position.

But Salo put them ahead late in the first half in a one-on-one against the keeper, repeating the feat after the break.

Tran credited the “pinpoint passing” by the offense and a stalwart Spartan defense in the season-opening win. Jessie Vincent recorded the shutout in her first start as varsity goalkeeper.

In junior varsity play, Bainbridge fell 2-1 to the Vikings. Annelies Gross scored for Bainbridge.
