Port Angeles’ Ben Schneider has been battling a sore hip this season, but that didn’t stop him from scoring two goals Saturday in a friendly to help the Roughriders soccer team draw with Sequim 4-4.
Schneider picked up the pair of goals despite missing nearly half the game with his sore hip.
It was Schneider’s fifth multi-goal game this year (which includes a hat trick against Port Townsend). Schneider, who scored 12 goals all of last year in an outstanding all-Peninsula MVP season, has been even better this year.
He already has 13 goals in just nine games this season in helping to lead the Roughriders to a solid 6-2-1 start on the season.
And he’s not just a scorer as he has tallied a number of assists this season, as well.
