ARLINGTON — Just because a team scores first, it doesn’t mean that its going to win the game. Just ask the Monroe boys soccer team, which has come from behind in its last four games to sneak into sole possession of third place in the Wesco North.
The Bearcats overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit on Thursday night at Arlington High School to win 2-1 and break a three-way tie for third with Arlington and Lake Stevens.
“This game was amazingly important for both Arlington and Monroe,” noted Monroe head coach Ryan Schaeffer.
With the win, Monroe (7-4-0 league, 7-4-0 overall) increased its chance of advancing to the playoffs as four Wesco North teams automatically advance while a fifth team goes to a play-in game. Arlington (6-6-0, 6-6-0) remains tied with Lake Stevens for fourth place.
Arlington’s Jake Smith scored the first goal of the game — and the sole Eagle goal — on a breakaway in the 13th minute.
After a scoreless first half, Schaeffer motivated the Monroe seniors at halftime with a reminder that there were only 12 days left in their high school soccer careers if they don’t make the playoffs.
“I told them, ‘Don’t leave the field without leaving it all out there,’” said Schaeffer. “It was all about heart and determination for us.”
Senior forward Drew Hopkins, Monroe’s leading scorer with nine goals, connected with a Quinn Coan assist in the 47th minute and again in the 51st minute to take the lead.
“Arlington is one heck of a soccer team,” said Schaeffer. “They have been the toughest team to play, especially on their home field. That was one heck of a battle.”
Schaeffer gave credit for the win to assistant coach John Dragavon for 14 years of support and guidance to the Bearcats and to the officials, who he said did a great job of handling a hard-fought game.
Monroe’s goalkeeper was Miles Garman, while Corbin Anderson tended the net for Arlington.
Marysville-Pilchuck 2, Oak Harbor 1: At Oak Harbor, Brady Ballew’s goal in the 68th minute proved to be the game-winner as Marysville-Pilchuck outlasted Oak Harbor in the Wesco North game. Terence Johnson added a goal for the Tomahawks (9-0-2 in league and overall). Kyle Bloom was in goal for Marysville-Pilchuck. Michael Shevchuk scored for Oak Harbor (5-7, 5-7) and Justin Van Pelt tended goal for the Wildcats.
Cascade 3, Everett 2: At Everett, Reid Jones scored the winning goal in the 78th minute off a Tony Clarke assist to give Cascade (5-7-0 league, 5-7-0 overall) the Wesco North win against Everett (2-9-0, 2-9-0). Jones also scored in the 60th (Gerardo Martinez-Alfaro assist) and Skylar Sutherland scored in the 4th minute. Eric Ofori scored both goals for Everett, one in the 10th (Mark Lee assist) and one in the 20th (Mike Newton assist). Oscar Teran and Scott Tolpingrud shared duties in the net for Cascade and Tanner Jelinek was the keeper for the Seagulls.
Stanwood 1, Snohomish 0: At Snohomish, Jorge Garcia scored the lone goal in the 15th minute off a James Postma assist to give Stanwood (1-10-1 league, 1-10-1 overall) the win — its first of the season — and knock Snohomish (9-2-1, 9-2-1) out of first place in the Wesco North. Dalton Alumbaugh earned the shutout for the Spartans. Snohomish’s goalkeeper was not reported.
Archbishop Murphy 2, Lakewood 0: At Everett, Matt Leen scored in the 57th minute off an assist from Sean Ryan, Erick Schmidt scored in the 64th minute off an assist from Alexis Magana and Archbishop Murphy clinched a 2A district playoff berth with the Cascade Conference victory. Doug Ehlebracht recorded the shutout for Murphy (9-1-0, 10-2-0). James Hoback started in goal for Lakewood (5-6-0, 7-6-0).
Sultan 5, Coupeville 0: At Sultan, Juan Camayo scored two goals and added an assist and teammate Alex Nicholas assisted on three goals, leading Sultan to the Cascade Conference win over Coupeville. Anthony Reyes, Simon Chavez and Axel Romeijn all scored goals for the Turks (5-5 in league, 6-5-1 overall). Stephen Losleben, Andy Livasy and Jake Murray all combined for the shutout in goal for Sultan. Isaac Wacker and Evan Ameluxen-Coleman shared time in goal for Coupeville (5-6, 7-6).
Cedarcrest 3, Granite Falls 0: At Granite Falls, Dusty Felts, Cory Johnson and Zach Brown each scored a goal for Cedarcrest (9-3-0 league, 10-4-0 overall) in its Cascade Conference win over Granite Falls (1-11-0, 2-12-0).
