Mount Si 2, Bellevue 1
Stephanie Burke scored a tie-breaking goal late in the game, helping first-place Mount Si hold off second-place Bellevue 2-1 in a key KingCo 3A game in Snoqualmie.
Alexis Pearlstein gave the Wildcats (8-3-3, 7-2-1 KingCo 3A) a 1-0 lead in the 28th-minute before Alli Cahill tied the game for the Wolverines (5-5-5, 5-3-3) in the 47th-minute.
A Bellevue win would have tied the Wolverines for the conference lead with Mount Si; instead the Wildcats sit in first place with one game left to play with 22 points. Bellevue now has 18.

Anna Geldenhuys scored an unassisted goal to give Sammamish a 1-0 lead in the 26th-minute. The Totems would hold that lead until the 62nd-minute when Candace Haghighi scored for Juanita (4-6-4, 4-4-2). Tori Lee scored the game-winning goal in the 74th-minute for the Rebels.
