SUMNER, WASH

The Curtis Vikings thanks to goals from Patrick Myers and Alex Leyva defeated the Tahoma Bears 2-1 to advance in the District 3/4 Playoffs. Tanner Coleman earned the win for Curtis, while Asher Ghavam was dealt the loss for Tahoma. Rocky Lauckner scored the lone goal for Tahoma.

The match was a rematch of last year’s District First Round match won by Tahoma 1-0.

Patrick Myers opened the scoring for Curtis off a set piece where the Vikings forward rammed in the go-ahead goal in the 29th minute. Curtis had a multitude of offensive opportunities although the Meyers goal was all the scoring in the first half. In the second half, Alex Leyva scored his 10th goal of the season on a rush down the right wing to give Curtis a 2-0 lead.

Rocky Lauckner scored to put Tahoma back in the game. However, Tanner Coleman and the stout Curtis backline held on for the win.
