The Edmonds-Woodway girls soccer team lost to Gig Harbor 4-3 in a Class 3A state tournament quarterfinal match Saturday at Roy Anderson Field in Gig Harbor.
The Tides beat the Warriors 5-3 in a shootout.
“I couldn’t be prouder. (We) left everything on the field,” Warriors coach Bill LeCompte said. “Going into it we knew we had a pretty tough matchup.”
The Warriors (17-4) forced overtime in dramatic fashion when Chiara Serafini found Kyra Hicks off a free kick just before the end of stoppage time.
Hicks’ goal answered the Tides’ go-ahead score in stoppage time that had Edmonds-Woodway on the brink of elimination, and the teams played a pair of scoreless overtime periods to force a shootout.
Hicks put the Warriors up 2-1 with her first goal in the 57th minute, but Gig Harbor answered back in the 78th to tie the game at 2-2.
“When you have to of the best teams in the state going at each other, you’re going to get one of those back-and-forth games,” LeCompte said.
Dara Stotland’s goal in the 13th minute kicked off the scoring for Edmonds-Woodway.
