Evergreen boy’s soccer team visited Tyee Tuesday, March 20 for both teams' first Seamount League matchup. It was a cold, rainy, windy, miserable night. Tyee showed great offensive execution as they beat Evergreen, 5-1, for their first win of the season.
Tyee found themselves down 0-1 early in the game when a Tyee defender accidently headed the ball into the Totems' own goal. Tyee was able to come out strong in the second half. Junior Freddi Altamarino opened the flood gates by scoring the Totems' first goal. From then on the Totems found their stride, scoring three more quickly after that and with one near the end beat the Wolverines 5-1.
Tyee head coach John Yellam said after the game, “We had a great start for the first 20 minutes, then I felt like we stuttered a little bit for the rest of the half, and allowed them to control the game. But the whole second half we picked up our game.”
The Totems' next league game will be against Renton at home on Tuesday March 27. The Wolverines will play on the road against Foster on Friday, March 30.
