LAKE STEVENS — What a difference a year makes.

One year after finishing fifth in the Wesco North, undefeated Lake Stevens is 6-0 and sitting right smack in first place.

Annie Thomas scored two times and the Lake Stevens Vikings defeated the Arlington Eagles 2-0 Saturday at Lake Stevens high school.

“Arlington’s had a good season,” Lake Stevens head coach Andy Knutson said. “We just caught them at the (right time).”

The Vikings, who boast four seniors and 10 juniors on their team this year, managed to keep Arlington’s offense under wraps.

“The defense played a great game,” Knutson said. “Korie Barnes and the rest of the defense really kept kids in check.”

That gave Thomas opportunity to score. Thomas put Lake Stevens on the board in the 18th minute off an assist by Kaleen Berg, and scored again in the 57th minute to put the game out of reach.

Arlington fell to 4-3.

Goalkeeper Kaitlin McEnzie recorded the shutout for the Vikings. Arlington’s goalkeeper was not recorded.
