The Ballard High School girls soccer team continued its hot streak and secured itself a playoff berth Oct. 26 by defeating Bothell High School 2-1 in the final match of the regular season.

With the victory, the Beavers won their third match in a row and claimed the fifth-seed in the six-team postseason.

After going winless in the season's first nine matches, Ballard wrapped up the year going 5-1-1 to finish with a 5-4-1 KingCo record and a 5-7-4 record overall.

The win against Bothell was arguably the Beavers' biggest of the season. Not only did it secure their playoff spot, but it is the team's only victory over an opponent with a winning record.

Bothell also finished 5-4-1 in KingCo and will be the sixth-seed in the postseason.

Senior Cricket Harber gave Ballard a lead it wouldn't lose with her goal in the 21st minute in the Oct. 26 match. Senior Jordan Travis added to the Beaver lead with a goal six minutes later.

Travis finishes the regular season 10th in KingCo with six goals and one assist.

Bothell's Shannon Schueren got her team on the board early in the second half, but it would be the only point her team could muster.

The Beavers open the playoffs against Woodinville High School at 7 p.m. Oct. 30 at Pop Keeney Stadium. Woodinville beat Ballard 2-1 during the regular season.
