Sumner High’s soccer squad wrapped up its untarnished 12-0 regular season with a pair of shutouts, winning 5-0 and 4-0 against Steilacoom and Franklin Pierce last week and earning a bye in the first round of the upcoming playoffs.
The Spartans’ second season will get under way at 3 p.m. Saturday at Renton’s Memorial Stadium against an opponent that had not been determined at press time.
Sumner hosted Steilacoom Oct. 25 and pulverized the Sentinels 5-0, with Alex Hoyt and Jamie Lange sharing the shutout in goal.
Megan Fenton broke the scoring ice at the 8 minute juncture and the Spartans never looked back, receiving additional tallies by Tayler Holtman, Kaylie Rozell, Sarah Carter and Rachel Stowell.
Thursday, at Franklin Pierce, Rozell recorded a hat trick and Krista Morford added a goal. Hoyt and Lange shared responsibility in goal.
Sumner not only clinched the SPSL 2A soccer crown, but did not relinquish a goal in the month of October, winning a half-dozen league meetings by shutout.
