ARLINGTON – The Arlington Eagles had the tenacity but not the accuracy losing 1-0 in their second-round playoff game against Shorewood Nov 4.

Arlington will now play a loser-out game for third place, hosting Mountlake Terrace Thursday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m.

A goal scored by Shorewood in the 33rd minute held to the end as Arlington’s offense couldn’t respond. In the second half, Shorewood’s defense locked down to prevent Arlington from scoring.

“They played great defense,” Arlington coach Nathan Davis said. “We didn’t get any balls on the frame of the goal.”

Missed opportunities plagued Arlington.

“We had a ridiculous number of chances,” Davis said. “In soccer if you have that many chances and not put it away, it becomes a long night.”

The Eagles controlled the ball most of the game.

“We had the ball 80 percent of the time, but we weren’t dangerous with it,” Davis said.
