ON TO STATE!!!
With at 4 to 3 overtime win over the Eastmont Wildcats in the District 6 Tournament, the Pirates have qualified for the WIAA State Tournament!!!! STAY TUNED AND GOOD LUCK PIRATES!!!!
for WIAA State Tournament Bracket!
From the Yakima Herald Sports... A golden goal by Edwin Diaz gave Davis revenge for two losses to Eastmont and sent the Pirates to state for the first time since 2018.
Davis went to extra time in a loser-out game for the second straight match but this time avoided a penalty kick shootout, beating the co-league champs 3-2 thanks to a goal by Diaz with less than a minute left in the first five-minute period. The Pirates had a chance to earn a share of the league title in their regular season finale at Eastmont, where coach Cristian Gonzalez said they played well enough to win in a 2-1 loss.
"I think they kind of had our number," Gonzalez said. "I think beating them and beating Sunnyside again (Thursday) and gaining that momentum at the right time is really crucial."
This time Davis jumped out to a 2-0 lead thanks to goals by Cipriano Acosta and Diaz before Edgar Leon buried a free kick in each half for the Wildcats. Gonzalez said the Pirates played with something to prove and looked locked in from the opening kickoff.
The Pirates will now travel to Tacoma on Tuesday, May 16 to take on the Curtis Vikings in the first round of WIAA State. 7 pm game time.
