A three pointer with 13:53 left from Alix Hernandez put Evergreen up by seven for the fourth time in the second half but Saint Martin’s went on a 13-1 run capped by a three from Ryan Rogers with 9:49 left put the Saints up for good. The Geoducks cut the lead to two on a Hernandez layup with 1:47 left but it was the last bucket the Geoducks would score until a last second shot when the game was already out of reach and the Saints took home an 82-79 exhibition win.

Hope Mortensen recorded ten kills and a .400 hitting percentage to lead Saint Martin’s to a relatively easy three set sweep of crosstown rival Evergreen at Marcus Pavilion. Kristyn Ross added nine kills to give her 1,032 for her career at SMU, the only Saint to record over 1,000 kills in her career.
Early on, it looked like the upstart Geoducks, who have already recorded their second most wins in program history but have hit a rough bump in the schedule since, would give the NCAA Division II Saints a run for their money with a spirited back and forth battle that was tied at 11. But the Saints went on a 6-1 run and never looked back.
In the second set, the Saints opened up a 9-3 lead and never allowed the Geoducks back within four taking the last two points on a kill by Maddie Knecht and an ace by Hannah Neumann.
It looked like SMU would continue to bury Evergreen in the third set taking a quick 4-1 lead but two straight kills by Kelsey Delagrange brought the Geoducks even at 9-9. But the Saints answered back using a 7-1 run to distance themselves and finishing Evergreen off with a kill by Brenna Peterson.
The Saints moved to 3-12 overall while the Geoducks fell to 10-8. Both teams travel to Oregon this weekend to resume conference play. SMU faces Western Oregon in Monmouth on Saturday while Evergreen faces Northwest Christian in Eugene on Friday and Corban in Salem on Saturday.

Timberline quarterback Gabe Gutierrez threw three touchdowns and rushed for another but a missed extra point and a subsequent missed two point conversion in the second quarter plus numerous key penalties throughout proved to be the difference in Timberline’s 35-33 loss to Tumwater on Thursday night at South Sound Stadium.
Tumwater’s Easton Trakel rushed for two touchdowns – one for seven yards and the second for 54 – in the fourth quarter after struggling to find much room to run in the first three quarters. Cade Otton caught a pair of touchdownw from Spencer Dowers in the first half and the T-Birds took a 14-12 lead into the half.
Gutierrez hooked up with Elijah Alllen twice, once near the end of the first half and once more in the fourth quarter to cut the T-Birds lead to two points, 28-26. Following a Trakel touchdown that extended the Tumwater lead to 35-26, Jonathan Dowell caught a 14 yard touchdown pass from Gutierrez to once again cut the lead to two points, 35-33.
The Blazers had the opportunity to take the lead after stopping the T-Birds with under five minutes left to play but a fourth and one slant pattern was broken up and Tumwater escaped Lacey with a 35-33 win.

After three straight dramatic 1-0 wins, Capital ran into a buzzsaw. Squalicum exploded for four second half goals including a 42nd minute and a 50th minute goal by freshman Tyler Hughes to claim the 2A state championship at Sunset Chevy Stadium in Sumner.
Zachary Wallace scored in the 59th minute and Gabe Guidroz scored a late capper and the Storm finished the season unbeaten with a 21-0-2 record. The Bellingham school allowed just five goals all season and outscored their opponents 30-0 in the postseason.
Capital snapped a five game winning streak with the loss and appeared to be worn down after playing 90 minutes in Friday night’s semifinal game. The Cougars managed just two shots on goal and fell to 21-3 on the season. The second place finish is the best finish for Capital boys soccer. The previous best was fourth place in 2010.
