HS Soccer: Tumwater Stays Unbeaten in EVCO 2A After Black Hills Win

10/7/2025

(Tumwater, WA) The Tumwater T-Birds haven’t lost a league match since 2017 and have a 3-0 record in the league already. The Black Hills Wolves are 8-1 so far, with their one loss coming to WF West. Sid Otton Field at Tumwater District Stadium hosted the first leg of the Pioneer Bowl.

Tumwater Controls First Half

The T-Birds came out as the aggressor from the opening whistle. Tumwater kept feeding the ball down the wing to the speedy Cassidy Hedin, who launched passes and shots all over the 18-yard box.

It was Kayla Pope who got the goal-scoring started for Tumwater. In the 26th minute, she settled a pass and turned, and fired from distance, just getting the ball over the Black Hills keeper’s hand.

Black Hills got great play from their senior keeper Angela Gibbs, who notched 8 saves in the first half. The Wolves had a hard time getting the ball away from the pressing T-Birds early in the half. As the game went on, Hailey Moxham and Ella Jarmin settled the Wolves and got them in a rhythm offensively.

It looked like the Pope’s goal was going to be the only one of the first half. Chloe Foos had a different plan, taking the ball from her defensive spot upfield and finding Cassidy Hedin for the tap-in goal and the 2-0 halftime lead.
