The Enumclaw High soccer team earned a berth among the state’s elite, one of just 16 teams in the running for a Class 3A championship.

The Hornets earned the sixth and final state allocation from last week’s bi-district tournament, blanking Timberline High 3-0 Saturday at Highline Stadium. The win came courtesy of two goals by Mia Fornelius and another by Jessica Snoen, along with the shutout goalkeeping of Katie Craft.

The Hornets – 13-5 overall – opened state play Tuesday against Mount Spokane High on the campus of Spokane Falls Community College. If Enumclaw was victorious, the Hornets would next play the winner of Tuesday’s opening-round contest between Mercer Island and Kamiakin. Details of that future game have not been determined.
