Behind five goals off the leg of Dylan Stevens, the Thunderbirds rebounded from a devastating loss to beat city rival Black Hills 5-1 on Friday night in Evergreen Conference action.

The win, coupled with W.F. West’s setback, puts Tumwater (5-5-1, 5-2 EvCo) a game back in the loss column with a showdown set for Tuesday night in Tumwater. Stevens scored a hat trick in the first half then added two goals in the final 40 minutes.

Black Hills (1-8, 1-6) lit up the scoreboard in the opening minute to take a lead, but that was all it could muster. The Wolves will travel to Aberdeen on Tuesday night.
