YAKIMA – With Eisenhower girls soccer coach Noe Gutierrez sporting a clean-shaven and bedazzled dome as the result of his team winning their first conference and district titles in more than 25 years, the Cadets continued their historic season Tuesday night.

With its first conference championship since 2000 wrapped up two weeks ago, and the ending of a 27-year district title drought Thursday, sixth-seeded Ike added another milestone.

Aiyanna Ochoa punched home Eva Timm’s feed into the net in the 82ndminute to lift the Cadets past No. 11 Lake Washington 2-1 at Zaepfel Stadium for the program’s first state tournament victory.

Eisenhower advances to play the winner of Wednesday’s matchup between 11th seeded Lake Stevens and No. 3 Mount Si, the defending state champion.

“The girls definitely enjoyed that one,” Cadets coach Noe Gutierrez said of his adorned head and his goatee that died blue. “It’s been a special season for this group, and now they can add the program’s first state tournament win to the list.”

Vianey Eszquivel, the program’s all-time leading scorer netted the first goal nearly midway through the first half to give the Cadets a 1-0 lead.

They’d hold that edge until Lake Washington leveled the 65 minutes into the contest. Timm then pressed the issue and Ochoa delivered the game-winner.

“We definitely didn’t play our best game tonight,” Gutierrez said. “I think the nerves got the better of us at times, but the girls found a way to pull it off. I’m really proud of their fight and determination, especially after giving up the equalizer late in the game.”

Ike improved to 18-1 with its 15th straight victory.

Elsewhere in the Class 4A state bracket, Sawyer Chubb scored a goal in the 66th minute to lift Mid-Columbia Conference champion and eighth-seeded Chiawana to a 1-0 victory against No. 9 Olympia.

Like the Cadets, it was the first state victory for the Riverhawks (17-3), who raced through the Mid-Columbia Conference this fall for their fourth straight league title.

Chiawana will head to Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner to take on the top-seeded Spartans.

Sumner defeated No. 16 Eastmont, 3-0. The Wildcats (11-9) had beaten rival Wenatchee on penalty kicks Saturday to beat Wenatchee and take the CBBN’s second berth to state.

In the 1A first-round, No. 6 Royal (17-3-1) defeated 11th-seeded King’s, 1-0, to advance to the state quarterfinals. The Knights, the district runner-up, will meet the winner of Wednesday’s match between No. 14 Cascade and third-seeded Cedar Park Christian.

CWAC regular-season champion and district runner-up Ellensburg fell to No. 6 Sehome on penalty kicks. The Mariners made 5 PKs, while the Bulldogs converted three.

Makena Shaw scored in regulation for Ellensburg, which finished the season 11-5.
