MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Freshman Bryana Cockbain scored in the in the eigth minute of extra time to cap a come-from-behind 3-2 victory for the Mountlake Terrace girls soccer team over Marysville Pilchuck in overtime Tuesday night.

On a rain-filled night, a wet ball crossed into the box, slipped out of the arms of a diving Emily Dunston — the Tomahawks goalkeeper — and Cockbain took advantage, finding the back of the net and improving the Hawks to 2-0 in Wesco 3A league play.

“I thought they were scrappy,” Marysville Pilchuck head coach Paul Bartley said of the Hawks. “They took advantage of their opportunities and converted.”

Another Mountlake Terrace freshman, Isabel Kembel, came through for the Hawks in the 58th minute, equalizing the game at 2-2 with a free kick.

Senior Lily Ross scored off a corner kick to put the Hawks up 1-0 in the third minute but the Tomahawks struck back with an equalizer of their own five minutes later when Brittany Anderson tied the game at 1-1.

“It was huge,” Bartley said of the early equalizer.

Bianca Acuario put the Tomahawks (1-2-0 league, 1-5-1 overall) ahead 2-1 right before the half but was forced to leave the game soon after due to injury.

“The thing that really hurt us was Bianca (Acuario) got hurt just before halftime,” Bartley said, “so it was hard to adjust for her speed loss.”
