The Hazen Highlanders soccer team fell to Kennedy on Tuesday 1-0 in a matchup of top Seamount League teams.

The loss gives Kennedy the league championship and the top seed headed into the postseason.

Coach Ken Matthews said the game has a playoff atmosphere and despite the loss, his team gained valuable experience.

The loss drops Hazen’s record to 8-4-3 overall and 4-1-1 in the Seamount. The team had one more match before the postseason begins, a league match-up with Tyee on Oct. 29.

Hazen has secured a spot in the postseason and will play the South Puget Sound League No. 4 seed in a loser-out game on Nov. 3 at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner.
