Girls Soccer Sequim 1, Kingston 0
SEQUIM — Sequim came away with a 1-0 win against Kingston that put them in solid position for a playoff spot.
The Wolves scored on a corner kick from Yanna Hoesel that found teammate Erin Vig, who kicked the ball in for a goal in the second half.
Sequim (6-5, 9-6) is tied with Port Angeles for third place in the Olympic League 2A Division. The third- and fourth-place teams both make district.
“The Wolves played a great game of possession and moved the ball up and down the pitch with fluidity. They battled hard for each other and came out on top,” said coach Derek Vander Velde.
“The entire squad played with excellent form last night for their final home game of the season,” Vander Velde said.
Sequim had 12 shots on goal, four saves, three corners and one indirect kick.
The Wolves have one final regular season game, on the road today against last-place Bremerton. If Sequim wins that game and the Roughriders lose a home game against a tough North Kitsap team today, the Wolves will end up in third place and the No. 3 seed at Districts and Port Angeles will be the No. 4 seed.
In any case, a Wolves’ win over Bremerton sends Sequim into the postseason.
The No. 3 and No. 4 seeds will play Saturday at Franklin Pierce High Stadium in Tacoma at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. against the South Puget Sound League No. 6 and No. 4 seeds.
