M-P girls soccer defies league polling, beats Lake Stevens
September 10th, 2009 at Thu, 10th, 2009 at 10:52 am by DanielleInvoking their literary forebearers David, the Marysville-Pilchuck girls soccer team slayed a giant of the Western Conference, defeating last year’s co-league champions Lake Stevens 3-2 in overtime Tuesday night.
Two girls who got their first varsity nod this year led the charge, with sophomore midfielder Lauren Noltes scoring the Tomahawks’ first goal in the second half, cutting into a 2-0 Lake Stevens lead. Junior forward Shannon Monson forced overtime with a tying goal with less than six minutes remaining in the game. In overtime, it was Noltes with another goal, giving the Tommies a clutch win and the favored Vikings an early loss.
Another nice win went to Lakewood, who defeated always-strong Burlington-Edison 2-1 the same night. Congrats, girls!
Danielle As my editor has reminded me, not all games have four quarters. But I'm naming this blog for the Fifth Quarter festivities that took place after every Wisconsin football game (my alma mater). From the Wisconsin marching band's website: "Win or lose, thousands of fans stay after to celebrate with the Band making The Fifth Quarter the Wisconsin Band's most beloved tradition." Likewise, I hope to celebrate the best of the area's teams and athletes here, regardless of the game's result.
