Girls Soccer 2014-10-01 vs Pilchuck

It's been and odd year for the varsity girls soccer team.  They've beat up on all their non-league opponents and are 4-0 in non-league play.  However, they have yet to win a league game.  They are 0-3-2, with the ties coming against the two Marysville teams - Getchell and Pilchuck.  The three losses were against Arlington, Stanwood and Edmonds-Woodway, who are a combined 16-4-1 on the season.

In last night's game against Pilchuck, the visiting Tomahawks scored quickly, finding the goal just over 2 minutes into the game.  Mary Johnston tied the game early in the 2nd with a goal of her own, but that was it for scoring.  Neither team could get the "Golden Goal" in the overtime period.

There was more scoring in the JV game, with a penalty kick with 8 minutes left proving to be the difference.   Pilchuck scored first, but just 4 minutes later Jenna Cooley forced a shot into the goal to tie the game at 1.  Early in the 2nd half, Oak Harbor took a 2-1 lead on a goal by Gillian Crossley, but a MP goal at the 9:46 mark tied it once again.  Oak Harbor was called for a foul in the box, setting up a penalty kick.  The MP shot went into the back corner of the net to make it 3-2.  OH worked hard in the remaining 8 minutes, but could not get the ball past the Tommie keeper.

With the loss, the JV team is now 1-4 in league play, 3-5-1 overall.

The girls have seven matches left on the schedule, with only 3 at home.  They travel to winless Meadowdale next Thursday, then host Shorecrest on the 16th, Glacier Peal on the 21st and Lynnwood on the 27th.
