State 2B Play-in-Game
Napavine won the rubber match over Ocosta in order to advance on to the regional playoffs against Evergreen Lutheran or Mt. Vernon Christian in Everett.
It was Samantha May that sunk her penalty kick in a shootout that pushed the Tigers on. The two teams played to a scoreless tie, two overtimes and went well beyond the traditional 5 kickers. Until May stepped up, nine PKs had been missed in succession.
Napavine is known for defense and has shut-out many great teams in recent weeks. Goalkeeper Sam Grove only had to deflect one serious shot while the Tigers made the Wildcat goalie deflect seven of Napavine's 12 shots.
Grove had two significant saves during the PK to preserve the eventual victory.
