3A Girls' soccer: 2nd half goals lift Liberty past Shorecrest, 2-0

From our news partner, The Seattle Times

ISSAQUAH -- Fifth-ranked Liberty (13-3-1), the state runner-up a year ago, advances to the quarterfinals and plays No. 10 Bonney Lake at noon Saturday at Sunset Chevy Stadium in Sumner. Shorecrest finishes at 13-5-3.

The Patriots were relieved to get a ball past Shorecrest goalkeeper Frida Swensen. Swensen recorded nine saves while Liberty keeper Amy Ellenberg did not have to make one.

Shorecrest coach Mindy Dalziel conceded her team could not match Liberty's offensive tenacity.

"They kept up their attack to the bitter end," she said. "We couldn't get into our attack at all. The better team won."
