Kellan O’Neill uncorked a scorching shot along the ground from just inside the box in the 20th minute that beat the Tyee keeper to give Capital a 1-0 lead. Despite the early Cougars goal, the Totems were the aggressors from the beginning and eventually capitalized scoring three times in a 15 minute span to knock off Capital, 4-1, in the first round of the 2A state tournament at Highline Memorial Stadium in Burien.

Down 1-0 deep into the first half, Tyee finally broke through with the equalizer after numerous chances throughout the first 39 minutes. With just 1:19 remaining in the half, Osvaldo Lopez turned from the far right side and put a shot between three Capital defenders that found far side of the goal. The two teams went to the half tied at one apiece.

Tyee’s Hamidou Kante broke free on the right side 12 minutes into the second half and caught Capital keeper Van Soderberg out of position. Soderberg hammered Kante just inside the box and the Totems were awarded a penalty kick. Liam Maginniss buried the shot for what would prove to be the game winning goal.

A minute later, Kante scored an easy goal off of a deflected Eduardo Pelayo shot to give the Totems a 3-1 lead. Lopez scored another goal with just over five minutes left to play and finished out the game with a 4-1 win, ending the Cougars season.

Capital finishes the season at 11-8-1. The Cougars were the last boys soccer team from the Olympia area still alive.

In game one of the NCAA Division II West Regional in Arcata, California today, Saint Martin’s out homered heavy home run hitting Humboldt State on their home field but it wasn’t enough and the Saints fell to the Lumberjacks, 6-5. The loss was the first for the Saints in the double-elimination tournament and sent them to an elimination game later in the day.

Humboldt State opened the scoring right away putting two runs on the board in the bottom of the first inning. But the Saints answered back, first with a two run home run from Dani Wall in the top of the second and briefly took a 3-2 lead when Joslyn Eugenio drove in Lacey McGladrey in the third.

The ‘Jacks answered with three straight runs in the third and fourth innings including Dani Randall’s homer in the third and what proved to be the game winning run on a Courtney Hiatt single in the fourth.

Taviah Jenkins hit a two run shot in the sixth inning to cut the score to one run and Taylor Bakos singled and advanced to second on an error with no outs. Aubree Pocklington fouled out and Madi Davis struck out for the first two outs of the inning. Bakos was then thrown out on the plate trying to score from second on a single to left by McGladrey. The Saints stranded a runner at second in the seventh inning and Humboldt State held on to win 6-5.

In game two, Grand Canyon got a rematch with the Saints after eliminating UC-San Diego in the first game of the consolation bracket in the morning.

Facing elimination, Saint Martin’s got it going quickly scoring twice in the first inning on a Sam Munger single and a Wall ground out. In the second, Pocklington doubled to drive in Bakos and the Saints took a 3-0 lead.

The ‘Lopes would answer back in a big way with four runs in an error filled top of the third inning. But Jenkins hit her second home run of the day in the bottom half of the inning, a two run shot that put the Saints back on top, 5-3. McGladrey’s single in the fourth drove in Pocklington to put the Saints up 6-4.

Grand Canyon got a run back in the fifth but again Jenkins went deep in the bottom of the fifth, her third of the day, to give the Saints an 8-5 lead and they would hold on to end the ‘Lopes season and advance to play Humboldt State on Sunday at noon. The Saints will have to win two straight games against the ‘Jacks to advance to the Super Regionals.
