EDMONDS — The season of firsts is continuing to roll on for the Mountlake Terrace boys soccer team.
For the first time in the decade that Ken Huggins has been Terrace’s head coach, the Hawks earned a 4A District 1 playoff berth, defeating Arlington 2-0 in a play-in game, advancing to the first round against Monroe on Monday.
And Terrace’s first year player Jonathan Alvarez is knocking the old-saying of needing veteran leadership to be successful in the playoffs. The freshman scored both of the Hawks goals, totaling 21 goals this season.
In the 27th minute, junior Manix Alvarez, Jonathan’s brother, chipped a shot over the defense from around 30 yards to Jonathan for a one-on-one opportunity with Arlington goalie Cory Ferris, and Jonathan scored.
In the 46th minute, Manix corralled a ball played down the right side, slotted it between two Eagle defenders, and Jonathan put the ball in the back of the net for a 2-0 Terrace advantage.
“We opened the field up and it stretched the field out,” Terrace head coach Ken Higgins said of the success that the Hawks had. “Jonathan is a marked man in Wesco, so we were trying everything possible to free him up.”
Arlington had plenty of corner kick opportunities Higgins said, but Hawks goalie Ben Winters was up for the challenge.
“Ben had a really good game in goal, this is his third shutout this season,” Higgins said after Winters stopped 18 Eagles shots.
Arlington goalie Cory Ferris stopped close to 15 Terrace shots Higgins said.
