Dannels also scored in the 41st, 45th and 58th minutesm with the first two goals assisted by Cole Waddington and the last one by Tito Rangel.

Both Pacific scores were by Brayan Gonzalez, who converted a penalty kick in the 55th minute and also scored in the 70th.
“Coquille looks pretty good,” said Pacific coach Tom Swenson. “They’ve got a well-balanced team.”
Pacific, meanwhile, is working to improve, Swenson said.
“Our game was improved a lot from where we started at the jamboree,” he said, referring to a preseason date at Phoenix. The Pirates lost their first match 6-0 on Friday, when Phoenix visited Pacific.

“They had some really good passers,” Gold Beach coach Steve Martin said. “Their passing skills were phenomenal.
“We have to work on our defense. The kids are learning.”
