ML soccer aims for title

Medical Lake came out on top in the first round of the Northeast 1A district tournament and will be advancing to take on Lakeside in the district championship on May 8 at Spokane Falls Community College.

In a May 2 match against Colville (8-5, 8-4), Medical Lake (8-8, 7-5) earned an early lead with Michael Schwiekhardt scoring a goal in the 10th minute. Cardinal Carter Pivonka scored again in the 25th minute, but two Colville goals — one in the first half, one in the second — set up the teams for a shootout.

Medical Lake clung to their lead, beating Colville 3-2 and securing their spot in the championship. They’ll face off against Lakeside, who has won every game this season except for a March 27 match against Shadle that ended in a tie 0-0.
