EVERETT – The Cascade girls soccer team edged Wesco North opponent Stanwood 1-0 in overtime Monday night to clinch its seventh consecutive trip to the postseason.
The Bruins, who improved to 8-2-5 in league and overall, good for 29 points, earned at least the fourth and final 4A District 1 playoff berth with one game remaining. Cascade, just three points ahead of Stanwood (8-5-2, 26 points), holds the tiebreaker over the Spartans in the event the Bruins lose Thursday and Stanwood wins – which would tie the teams at 29 points.
“We graduated a lot of players from last year. We have a different team from last year,” said Cascade’s 11-year coach Jamie Gay, whose team lost in the first round of the playoffs last year.
“It’s a good showing for this team to get there (postseason) again.”
Cascade’s leading goal-scorer, Kelsey Lundberg, knocked in the game-winning goal from 6 yards out one minute into overtime. It was Lundberg’s ninth goal of the season.
“We had a strong offensive push the whole game,” Gay said. “In soccer it takes a number of shots to score. And we did that. We showed great determination in overtime.”
Cascade goalkeeper Brittany Gegax made three saves to record her ninth shutout of the season.

Snohomish 4, Arlington 0: Snohomish clinched a 4A District 1 playoff berth with its Wesco North win. Senior Jenny Gudmundson scored the final goal for the Panthers on a penalty kick. Gudmundson missed the last four weeks with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, but started on Senior Night for the Panthers. Snohomish coach Dan Pingrey said he started several injured players to begin the game, then quickly substituted. But Gudmundson insisted on returning and he granted her wish with 10 minutes to play. The injured forward got into a mixup in the box, was fouled and scored on a penalty kick with six minutes to play. She is scheduled to have surgery on her injured knee on Monday. Senior goalkeeper Carrie Artim had her third shutout of the season for Snohomish.
