SNOCO FC Battles Oly-Pen at Home

By Merrick Parnell

Mill Creek, Washington – The last time Snohomish County Football Club (SNOCO FC) met the Oly-Pen Force was in November of 2023. In a hard-fought game in Bremerton, Oly-Pen snuck away with an 8-7 win. 

In the second round of 2023-2024, Western Indoor Soccer play (WISL) SNOCO FC hosted Oly-Pen at home on Saturday at Arena Sports in Mill Creek, Washington. Oly-Pen would best SNOCO in this latest installment 12-0. Ismel DeLuna would lead all scoring with four goals, including the game’s opening goal and his last coming in the final quarter. 

“I think we’re struggling to find our identity, we’ve struggled to find our core group of individuals after a big restructure this past year And a roster that contains 95% new players. So I think in all that, we understand it has been a rebuilding year, but the work continues,” said Head Coach and Club President Dorian Lair. 

The game saw a large crowd on hand as SNOCO FC was offering free general admission to grow their brand and reach in Mill Creek and the surrounding areas. SNOCO FC will have a bye next week but will return home on February 3rd for their home finale against the Tacoma Stars Reserves.
