The Kentridge High School girls soccer team was knocked out of the 4A state tournament in the first round with a 3-2 loss at Curtis High School on Wednesday night.
Kentridge started out strong with two goals in the first quarter, but Curtis answered in the second quarter putting up two points. Curtis scored the game-winning goal late in the fourth quarter.
Kentridge head soccer coach Sherri Rolfes said the loss was disappointing.
“We had our chances outshooting them 15 to six,” Rolfes said in an email. “Just couldn’t get it in the back of the net.”
This was the fifth year in a row Kentridge has qualified for the state tournament only to meet the same fate of first-round elimination each time.
Despite the loss, Rolfes said she is proud of team’s performance this season.
The Chargers finished the regular season with a 12-1 conference record, securing the South Puget Sound League North 4A title for a third consecutive year.
Rolfes said she is already looking forward to next season.
“Only graduating four seniors, so we will be strong again next year,” she said.
