A 1-0 halftime lead wasn’t enough for the Timberline girls soccer team against Auburn Mountainview in the first round of the Class 3A District 3 Tournament on Saturday, Oct. 31, as the Lions came back to win 2-1 and eliminate the Blazers.
After Timberline’s Layla Lacanlale scored in the 10th minute off an assist by Zeta Towers, Auburn Mountainview roared out of the gates in the second half with two goals in the first five minutes to take the lead.
The first was a shot that slipped right through the hands of Blazers goalkeeper Addisen Mueller, and the second was off of a corner kick in the 45th minute.
“It was a tough ending to the season. Girls played hard, but injuries throughout the season made each game harder,” Timberline head coach Chris Crowe said.
Timberline recorded eight shots, including four on goal. Mueller tallied seven saves.
Timberline finishes the season with a 6-8-3 record and a 5-3-3 mark in the Puget Sound League. Five seniors graduate — Melia Mareko, Kalena Moe, Hannah Jackson, Abigail Green and Penelope Payne.
