The Onalaska girls soccer team’s district tournament matchup against Napavine went nearly exactly like their game against the Tigers in last year’s district tournament, with the Loggers taking home a 1-0 win in the semifinals of the 2B District 4 Tournament.
Three hundred sixty-two days ago, the Loggers took down the Tigers 1-0 in the district third-place match in Tenino, sealing District 4’s final spot in the state tournament. Thursday, the matchup shifted 68 miles south and moved up a round, but the result was just about the same.
Jules Auman gave Onalaska the goal it needed 10 minutes from full time, scoring off a Jaycee Talley corner kick in the 70th minute.
Aside from that, it was a defensive struggle all night long. Taylen Evander made four saves for Napavine while at the other end of the field, the Onalaska defense kept the Tigers from getting off a single shot at Hailee Brown.
Talley led the Ony defense with 14 interceptions and four clearances.
Onalaska moves on to the district title game in Tenino on Saturday, against two-time defending district champion Kalama. The Chinooks — who still have not allowed a goal to 2B opponents this season — beat the Loggers 5-0 when they met on Oct. 11.
Napavine, meanwhile, will get one more crack at a State bid before the Loggers and Chinooks take the field, facing off against Adna in the third-place match. The Tigers and Pirates battled to a 1-1 draw to open the C2BL season back on Sept. 20.
