Number 1 ranked Meadowdale's girls soccer team came into Shoreline Stadium for their second matchup of the season against the Shorecrest Scots, and the unbeaten and untied Mavs emerged with their unblemished season unscathed and intact with a hard-fought, sometimes chippy, 2-1 win Monday night.
The Mavs jumped on the Scots early, scoring twice in the first half. Erica Beaulieu took a perfect pass from Taylor Monroe-Jones and scored from close range just twelve minutes in. Fifteen minutes later Sara Fjortoft's long centering pass found the head of Emily Critchlow, who put it past Scots' keeper, Frida Swensen.
A pair of freshmen accounted for Shorecrest's lone score, as Sophia Viviano put Alexa Iacolucci's corner kick into the net with just under eleven minutes to play to get the Scots with striking distance of the top-ranked 3A team in the state. But the savvy Mavs never gave the Scots another sniff of the net as they hung on for the win.
District playoffs begin this weekend. All the seedings and pairings are as yet unknown, but the Scots will be hosting a first round game at Shoreline Stadium this Saturday at 7pm in the double-elimination format.
