Shorewood wins Friday home non-league soccer game from Bothell

On a beautiful, but cold Friday night, with no snow to deal with, the Shorewood soccer team defeated a visiting Bothell team, 3-0, in a non-conference match at Shoreline Stadium.

Bothell put a big scare into Shorewood early with a shot from outside the box on the right side that hit the far post just three minutes into the game. Things started to even out with both teams getting a couple of shots; then Anthony Pepe passed a ball to Abdul Abdulla who finished it for a 1-0 Shorewood lead as the half ended.

In the second half things started to go a little better for Shorewood. Dawda Dibba nearly scored in the first five minutes. At the 52nd minute, Taj McChesney received a pass from Abdul Abdulla inside the penalty box and was able to slot it into the far left side of the net for a 2-0 Shorewood lead.

Bothell came back with a couple of dangerous shots, but in the 75th minute Dawda Dibba gathered a loose ball after a free kick and finished it for the third and final goal of the game.

Cal Crawford and Kyle Crawford combined for the shutout for Shorewood. 

Shorewood is 2-1 overall and 0-1 in league play going into a home Wesco 3A game with Mountlake Terrace Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., with junior varsity teams from the two schools playing at 5:30. 

Through three games, McChesney leads the Thunderbirds with two goals; Abdulla has a goal and an assist.
