A pair of Seamount girls soccer powerhouses met on the pitch last night and both walked away with a point in the standings as Hazen and Kennedy Catholic played to a 1-1 tie at Starfire in Tukwila.

“The playoffs begin in 32 days – it’s that time of year when high school soccer starts to get pretty interesting,” Hazen coach Ken Matthews said in an email.

The two well-matched teams battled to a nil-nil tie through the first half, but nine minutes into the second half, Hazen got on the board when midfielder Amy Warmenhoven redirected a pass from Madison Kem for a 1-0 lead.

But it didn’t stand up. Ten minutes later, Kennedy broke through to even the score at 1-1, where it stayed until the whistle blew.

“People might want to circle Oct. 27 on their calendar,” Matthews said. “The rematch is going to be a good one and the first seed in the playoffs will be on the line.”

Hazen is now 4-3-2 on the season. League play begins next week. Hazen plays Lindbergh on Tuesday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
