Bellingham 2, Ferndale 1
Both teams had multiple chances in the first half, but both keepers made key saves and the game was scoreless at the midway point. Golden Eagle junior midfielder Coen Braun scored on a penalty kick to give his team a lead in the second half, but the Bayhawks answered back with a goal by Sora Dionne, and with about eight minutes left in the game Judah Straight scored a goal to give Bellingham the lead. Ferndale had a few chances late in the contest, including when Phoenyx Finkbonner sent a right-footed shot toward the goal which was just tipped out by the Bayhawk goal keeper.
Nooksack Valley 3, Bear Creek 2
The Grizzlies opened the scoring early on a penalty kick, but the Pioneers struck back quickly with a goal by freshman Chris Castillo, which was assisted by fellow freshman Jose Liera, and the two teams went into halftime with a 1-1 score. Bear Creek scored first in the second half, and Castillo scored his second goal of the game, this time on a penalty kick, to tie it up. Nooksack Valley junior Tyrel Johnson then scored the game-winning goal in the closing seconds on an assist from junior Alex Flores to end the Pioneers’ three-game losing streak.
Sehome 7, Oak Harbor 1
