Prep boys soccer: Edmonds-Woodway 3, Marysville Pilchuck 1

EDMONDS — The Edmonds-Woodway Warriors scored the game’s final three goals as they defeated the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks on Saturday in the District 1 3A boys soccer tournament at Edmonds Stadium.

Jose Aleman scored in the closing moments of the first half, then Ethan Hopkins and Trey Clugston scored in the second half as Edmonds-Woodway rallied to overcome an early deficit.

“The plus is we came from 1-0 down,” Edmonds-Woodway coach Tony Gilman said. “That was a big plus for us to come from behind.”

Edmonds-Woodway (11-3-3), the district’s No. 3 seed, advances to face Shorewood in the semifinals Tuesday at Edmonds Stadium. The winner of that game earns a berth to state.

Sebastian Navarro scored for sixth-seeded Marysville-Pilchuck (5-9-3), which hosts Mountlake Terrace on Tuesday in a loser-out contest.

Edmonds-Woodway found itself trailing 1-0 during an evenly played first half when the final two minutes arrived. The Warriors had a series of corner kicks that caused danger, and on the final one E-W finally put it away. Jake Stevenson’s corner went to the far post, where Aleman nodded it in from point blank to tie the score 1-1.

Play continued to go back and forth in the second half, with Marysville-Pilchuck having the first two quality chances only to be denied by Warriors goalkeeper Griffin Small.

Then Edmonds-Woodway took the lead in the 58th minute. Marysville-Pilchuck goalkeeper Kole Bradley-Kuk made a diving save, but Hopkins followed up, poked the ball away from Bradley-Kuk, then squeezed a shot in at the near post. Bradley-Kuk immediately dashed to the referee to argue the ball had been illegally kicked out of his hands, but the goal stood to make it 2-1.

The Warriors clinched the game in the 77th minute. Hopkins got behind the Tomahawks defense and went tumbling when challenged by Bradley-Kuk. Edmonds-Woodway was awarded a penalty kick and Clugston tucked it into the left corner to make it 3-1.

M-P opened the scoring in the 24th minute. Ariaan Cardenas played the ball forward into the path of Navarro. It looked as though the defender would get to the ball first, but Navarro lunged his foot at the ball and got just enough of it to lightly redirect the ball’s path past Small and into the goal to make it 1-0.
