ARLINGTON — The Arlington soccer team battled with two-time state champion Edmonds-Woodway for the district title Nov. 7, but a goal by the Warriors in the second half proved to be the deciding factor.

“I couldn’t tell you how it happened to be honest,” Arlington coach Nathan Davis said. “It was just kind of a pressure and fluke thing that happens.”

Woodway appeared to be in better possession of the ball, but Arlington made some breaks that almost resulted in a goal — particularly Olivia Larson who went one-on-one with a Woodway defender to nearly finish a goal in the first half.

Arlington will now play Bellevue, Tuesday Nov. 10, at Bellevue High School in the first round of the state tournament.

“We’ll just keep doing what we’re doing,” Davis said. “It was an intense match, and I thought the kids played great. It didn’t work out for us but both of us are top-eight in the state so it was going to be an intense soccer game.”
