The Shorewood girls’ basketball team is in a battle for a spot in the Northwest District 3A tournament.
 

The Thunderbirds were tied for the sixth and final Wesco berth in the tournament going into a Tuesday home game at Oak Harbor.
 

They moved into the tie with Mountlake Terrace by defeating Terrace Friday after losing to Meadowdale a day earlier.
 

Shorewood took a 2-6 record (3-11 overall) into the game at Oak Harbor (0-8 Wesco 3A, 1-12 overall) Wednesday.
 

In the 70-63 loss at Meadowdale (6-2, 8-6) Thursday, Shorewood led 41-39 after three quarters, but Meadowdale outscored the Thunderbirds 31-22 in a high-scoring final period. Lisa Echert led the T-birds with 23 points. Masha Shtikel scored 13.

The MLT news said this about the game:

"The first quarter ended with Terrace in the lead. However, the T-birds moved out to a 5-point lead at halftime. The Hawks stayed close through three quarters trailing 30-36. In the fourth quarter the T-birds shot very well, going 4-6 from three and ended the game 9-14 from the line."
