Today (10/18): Saints get rematch with Falcons; Hawks and T-Birds tangle
Ashley Richardson equalized but the Falcons scored the winner with 10 seconds left in 2OT on Sept. 29th
Big game for the Saint Martin’swomen’s soccer team today when they play host to Seattle Pacific. It’s a rematch of a game in Seattle that saw the Falcons pull out the victory in the final 10 seconds of double overtime, 2-1, part of an eight match unbeaten streak that SPU is currently riding.
The Saints are still in the hunt for a GNAC playoff spot currently sitting in fifth place at 4-6. The top four teams make the GNAC playoffs at the Starfire complex in Tukwila beginning on November 1st and the Saints are chasing Western Oregon (5-4-1) for that final playoff spot.
First touch is scheduled for 2:00 PM at the SMU Soccer Field.
In American football action, a huge 2A Evergreen Conference game between Tumwater and River Ridge kicks off at 7:00 PM at South Sound Stadium.
Can the T-Birds continue their winning streak tonight against River Ridge?
The T-Birds are riding a six game winning streak after dropping their opener to Shelton and have knocked off Timberline, Capital, WF West and North Thurston in the process and are currently ranked #1 in the Oly Sports power rankings. Andrew Brown has been unstoppable for the T-Birds on all sides of the game and River Ridge will have their hands full stopping his rushing and special teams prowess.
But River Ridge sits there just behind the T-Birds in the EvCo standings and that at times explosive offense could always go off. But the Hawks had their five game winning streak snapped on Friday by WF West and barely got past 0-7 Centralia a week before and have given up 78 points over the last two games, worrisome results when facing this confusing T-Birds wing-T offense.
My pick: Tumwater 45, River Ridge 28, in a game that is closer than the final score reflects.
And don’t forget all the girl’s soccer and volleyball action going on all around town….

Rochester at Forks – No report
Shelton’s Ralph Kinne appeared to score the go ahead touchdown with three minutes remaining in the game but a North Thurston defender ripped the ball loose and fell on the ball in the end zone. After a discussion, the officials ruled that Kinne fumbled and the Rams took over on the 20 yard line and ran out the clock with a pair of first downs to take home the 21-20 victory in a battle of undefeated 3A Narrows League rivals.
Deshon Bell scored two touchdowns for the Highclimbers, the first a ten yard run to open the scoring in the first quarter and a 60 yarder in the second quarter. Ralph Kinne also scored on a 64 yard touchdown run and finished with 190 yards.
But with every big run Shelton produced, the Rams fought back with long drives. Mo Manning scored once for the Rams and Bobby Cervantes also scored on an end around play. The final touchdown was scored in the second quarter on a one yard run that Shelton defenders thought that they had recovered a fumble on the play.
With the win, the Rams move to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the 3A Narrows League and will take on fellow undefeated Narrows League rival Timberline. The Highclimbers fall to 6-1 and 3-1 in league. They next get 0-7 Mount Tahoma before a final week matchup with Timberline.
