Shoreline Community College women’s soccer team continues to kick opponents all over the field with dominating performances. Over the last three games, Shoreline has scored a total of 22 goals in three games while not letting a single goal be scored against them by division rivals Everett, Skagit Valley, and Edmonds.

With one game remaining, on Nov. 5, they look to take an unbeaten record (11 wins – 0 loses – 4 ties) into the NWACC playoffs on Nov. 19 and 20. Shoreline is tied with Clackamas Community College out of Oregon as the second most prolific scoring team in the entire NWACC this year. Walla Walla leads the NWACC with the best scoring record.

The Lady Dolphins defense has been solid, allowing only 10 goals in 15 games. Goalkeeper Erica Benson has shut out opponents 7 times this year. Kalina Hartliep, Sara Hanson and Catie Poss are all in the top 5 in the league in assists. They have set up goals for Keesha Baumler and Beth Lisenby, who is third in the league in scoring. Sarah Coulson and Kazia Tiernan have also played well, moving the ball around and scoring.

Good luck to the Lady Dolphins team in the playoffs. The first playoff game is 11/12 at 1p.m. at Shoreline.
