Brian Diaz broke the deadlock in the twelfth minute, slipping a low strike past the goalkeeper, and moments later he turned provider, threading a precise pass to Natan Ghebreamlak whose finish restored the lead before halftime.

Baseball Highlights
In baseball, the Monroe high school squad edged Enumclaw 1-0 in a dramatic finish, the winning run arriving via a walk‑off balk in the bottom of the seventh inning.
The pivotal balk came after a tense at‑bat that saw the Monroe pitcher lose his grip on the ball, allowing the runner on third to cross the plate without a pitch being delivered.
Meanwhile, Shorewood’s baseball team rolled past Central Valley 9-1, showcasing a potent offense that will keep them in contention for the championship.
Both soccer and baseball squads from the area are now poised for deeper runs as the state tournaments progress, reflecting a strong spring season for local athletics.
