Wolves Advance to District Playoff‏

Wolves Advance on Katagiri Goal Lately, with each passing game, the Wolves lineup gets tweaked just a bit and a subtle turn of the wrench on Saturday produced an early goal sending the Lady Wolves to the next round of playoffs against Redmond on Tuesday. Marisa scored in the ninth minute with an assist from Taz and a stellar defensive performance were only but a few highlights as several players left their mark on this match.

Allegra came off of a painful injury last week to play an outstanding match at left back and Napes did the same at right back having rehabbed from an injury over the past week and a half. Becca and Maddie were absolute stalwarts in the back and worked together brilliantly to stifle one of the best scoring duos in KingCo. The back line did not skip a beat when Gabby entered the game and assured the Wolves' 9th shutout of an opponent this season.

Haberly Free Kick Sends Wolves to Playoffs As was the usual for the Wolves last night, the defense was stellar and it was a waiting game to see if a bit of final third magic would occur. In the 50th minute a foul at the top of the penalty box resulted in Kelsey Haberly's free kick that grazed the keeper's hands but found the back of the net. Haberly had been a threat all night as she was bounced from midfield to forward and back to midfield again but the senior Captain's finishing strike was all that was needed to send Eastlake to the KingCo playoffs for the 7th year in a row!

Inching Towards Playoffs Scoring woes continued for the Wolves after last night's 0-0 result against Woodinville but another valuable point was earned toward playoff qualification. A solid team effort both contained the Falcon's attack and produced at least a dozen threatening shots on goal only to produce the Wolves' 5th draw in eight matches. Emily Suter and Bryce Kennedy shared duties in the net and each anchored the feisty Wolves defense that has stymied the best goal scorers in KingCo this season. Hang on to your hats folks...with two league games remaining, this playoff run is going to go down to the wire! (10/18/11)

Scoreless Draw with #10 Issaquah Both teams had good looks at their opponent's goal but there were no scoring highlights to report after the final whistle. Changing midfield tactics was the order of the evening and produced stellar performances from numerous players most notably Makenzie Carney and Kelsey Haberly who fulfilled their assignments in remarkable fashion. While still undefeated in league play, the Wolves added another point but remain mid-table with #3 Plateau rival Skyline HS visiting on Thursday. 10/11/11

Wolves Turn a Corner What was beginning to take shape as yet another evening of frustration marked by missed shots, break-aways that broke down, and no goals scored all changed in an instant. Although left unmarked for most of the game, the Wolves could not manage to serve the right ball to Marisa Katagiri until the 76th minute. After settling a 40 yard driven ball, Katagiri raced in behind the Garfield defense and calmly tucked away the game winning goal.

The Garfield attack proved threatening on several occasions during the match but Senior goalkeeper Bryce Kennedy was equal to the task with sure hands and punts out of the box that often placed the Bulldog defense immediately back on it's heels. The most surprised player in the stadium was Senior Captain Kelsey Haberly who was moved out of her midfield position in the closing minutes of the match to find herself as a target forward. It was from the next series of possessions originating from Haberly that the one pass needed to find Katagiri was created. 10/6/11

Sept 20, 2011 - Wolves Begin League Play with 2-1 Win!     Kelsey Haberly and Rebecca Priestly combined their special skills late in the second half to break a scoreless deadlock...and that's when the real game started! A minute later with Ballard pressing hard to even the game, Rebecca played a magnificent through ball to Brenna Drummond who slipped her mark and beat the Ballard keeper on a breakaway to secure the first league win for the Wolves, final score 2-1. It was all hands on deck as it became necessary all night to create effective match ups with a talented Ballard squad. Standout performances were also delivered by Julia Bennett and Freshman Jodie Ulkekel who pressed the Ballard defense and created several corner kick opportunities.

Sept 10, 2011 - 3-0 Win Over Kamiak  On a hot (really hot!) afternoon the Wolves struggled to find the back of the net during the first half but kept their cool and eventually produced a 3-0 win. Defensive players contributed at both ends of the field. A goal by Rebecca Priestly and an assist by Gabby Grinslade balanced out an attack that produced additional goals from "Cush" - Emily Cushing, "Taz" - Tasnim Khessib, and two assists from Kelsey Haberly. Equally gratifying to the coaches was a comment made after the match..."I think we are getting in better shape...it's starting to show."

Sept 6, 2011 - Lake Washington Draw   Goals by Rebecca Priestly and Allie Garrett earns Wolves a 2-2 result with Lake Washington Kangs. Lots of final third savvy by the Lady wolves was evident throughout the match but a late goal by LW ends the day with a draw. 9/6/11

Labor Day 2011 - Girls Season Kicks Off in Labor Day Weekend Matches Marisa Katagiri scored the first varsity goal of the season as the Wolves drew a 1-1 tie in the season opener Friday night against Union HS.  The Wolves lost 2-0 to Camas in Saturday afternoon's match, as several scoring opportunities go wanting.
