Teal Sigler, right, beats the Meridian goalkeeper for the Pirates third goal Wednesday.
Three playoff games, three wins, and the Vashon girls are one win away from the State Tournament. Vashon traveled all the way to Mount Vernon tonight to beat Meridian 4-0. Teal Sigler and Carlyle Scott scored off corner kicks in the fifth and seventh minutes. Sigler scored on a breakaway in the 75th minute then fed the ball to Cat Amick for a 79th minute goal.
The Pirates play Overlake, 1-0 winners over Charles Wright tonight, on Friday at Kings High School in North Seattle. The winner of that game qualifies for State and plays again Saturday for fourth or fifth seed to State. The loser plays on Saturday for sixth seed to State.
Meridian and Charles Wright were eliminated from the playoffs in tonight’s games.
