Updated 11:26pm
The Shorecrest boys’ soccer team advanced to a State 3A semifinal game against Bainbridge Friday at 2pm at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup after a 4-1 victory over Hazen at Renton Stadium.

Shorewood was eliminated Saturday with a 4-2 loss at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner to No. 1 ranked Bonney Lake.

Shorewood coach Bill Wilkins said that the game against Bonney Lake Saturday in Sumner came on a great night for soccer with no rain, warm weather and no wind. Things started well for Shorewood with a goal in the 4th minute. Taj McChesney threw a ball in to Abdul Abdulla, who proceeded to dribble past two defenders and fire a great shot past the goalie for a 1-0 lead. This held for about 20 minutes before Bonney Lake scored off a header that went from wide of the far post and glanced off the near post for a game tying goal. The half ended 1-1.

It took a about six minutes for Bonney Lake to take the lead in the second half with a nice finish after attacking down the left side. About 10 minutes later Lake scored again off some solid combination passes for a 3-1 lead. Bonney Lake’s final goal came off a header from about 12 yards out. Shorewood pressed hard and scored a second goal with 16 minutes left when Alex Payton headed in a pass from Matt Owen. A third opportunity was cleared away at the last moment with about 6 minutes left. Bonney Lake was able to hold Shorewood off and take the victory.

Calvin Crawford played in goal for Shorewood.

Bonney Lake will play Hanford in the semi finals Friday.

Shorewood finished its season with a 16-3-1 record. McChesney led the team in scoring with 11 goals and 2 assists for 24 points.
