Scots blank T-Birds 1-0 in Saturday soccer match

Noah Trostle tapped home a loose ball in front of the net for the only goal in the Scots' 1-0 win Saturday night over crosstown rival Shorewood in the opening round of the District One 3A boys soccer tournament.

Two minutes into the second half, Finn Hoffman sent a free kick goalward. The ball rattled around until it found Trostle's foot, and he just managed to trickle it past T-Birds' keeper Nathaniel Poole for the game winner.

SC Goalie Ben Evans made his best save of the night on a SW header right before the final whistle blew to preserve his shutout and the victory.

With the win, SC advances to the District semi-finals Tuesday night against Snohomish, while the T-Birds face an elimination game Tuesday against Arlington.

Shoreline Stadium will be jumping on Tuesday, with three games on tap.

4 PM - Shorewood v Arlington (loser out)
6 PM - Squalicum v Lynnwood
8 PM - Shorecrest v Snohomish
