Monday night's matchup between the Ballard High School girls soccer team and Nathan Hale was a game of opportunities.

The Beavers couldn't capitalize on their many opportunities, while Nathan Hale capitalized on all of theirs, leading to a 3-3 tie in the Sept. 14 non-conference game.

Kat Anaseni, Sara Ives and Maria Tsagalakis scored for the Beavers. Ives is leading the team through the first four games with two goals.

Coach Val Seid said Ballard had trouble with the field, which was smaller than a normal varsity field. He also said the Beavers had a lot of shots that went right to the keeper.

The girls soccer team is 1-2-1 in the non-conference preseason.

They lost 9-0 to Woodinville Sept. 12 in a game in which Seid rested the varsity players. He played the junior varsity team against Woodinville because they are a conference opponent and he said he didn't want to give away too much before the regular season.

The Beavers face Sammamish at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 18 at Ingraham High School. Ballard opens conference play on Sept. 22 against Redmond.
