Brewster state soccer hopes with crossover loss to Northwest Christian

BREWSTER—Following a loss to Liberty Bell last Thursday, the state berth hopes for the Lady Bears varsity soccer team hinged on a must-win crossover game against Northwest Christian on Brewster’s home pitch last Saturday, Nov. 3.

The Lady Crusaders, ranked first in the eight-team 2B Bi-County standings with a 5-1 record, mounted a strong attack to take an early 2-0 lead before closing the door on Brewster, 3-0.

Brewster entered the post-season in second place in the Central Washington 2B League with a 10-2 record behind the unbeaten 12-0 Lady Mountain Lions.

The Lady Bears beat Tonasket, 4-2, on Oct. 30, in the semifinal round of District 6 competition but lost for a third time to Liberty Bell, 4-1, on Nov. 1, to take second in District.

The Lady Bears will lose five seniors to graduation next June: Betty Martinez, Kim Nila, Julissa Olvera, Alexia Escalera, and Alondra Torres.
