The Shorecrest girls soccer team came to life in the second half, erupting for five goals to defeat Glacier Peak 5-0 on Senior Night at Shoreline Stadium Wednesday night.

Senior Anna Boyle and junior Kate Wiper split time in net for the Scots' ninth consecutive shut-out.

When Junior Lauren Brown scored five minutes into the second half, there was a feeling in the air that the dam was about to break. Senior Alexa Iacalucci confirmed that thought when she drilled a long shot just one minute later. Senior Sophia Viviano netted one five minutes after that, and Brown accounted for another goal with 24 minutes to play in the game. Four goals in 11 minutes.

Senior defender Sydney Coe scored a rare (for her) goal on a header from senior Mara Trostle in the game's final minute. When asked after the game where on her head she struck the ball for her first varsity goal, a giddy Coe pointed to a spot dead-center on her forehead. "I hit it perfectly", she smiled.

Shorecrest (11-1 in WESCO, 14-1-1 overall) opens District One 2A tournament play this Saturday when they host the Lynden Lions at 3pm at Shoreline Stadium.
