Todd Beamer 2, Kamiak 1
The Beamer Titans are headed to the state semifinal round for the second time in the school’s history after Luke Gregg scored the game-winning, double overtime goal to beat Kamiak at Mariner High School in Everett. Gregg notched the goal on an assist from Beamer midfielder Jacob Allen. The Titans advance to face Glacier Peak at 6 p.m. Friday in Puyallup.
Dylan Alley returned to the Titans’ starting 11 after missing the match against Bothell for yellow card accumulation, and the Beamer captain gave his club the lead in the third minute on a rebound putback situation in front of the net.
Kamiak answered in the 39th minute, and the two sides played scoreless until Allen’s winner in the second overtime. Allen also secured the winning goal in the previous match against Bothell.
