Girls soccer: Bellevue at Sehome
7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5, Sehome High School

Bellevue was one of the top 3A teams in the state last season while Sehome had a successful year in the 2A ranks. Bellevue, the one-seed at the 3A state tournament, was eliminated in the quarterfinals last season. The Mariners were 2A’s six-seed and eliminated in the first round.

Sehome lost over half of its roster last season, so it will be a question of who steps up against Bellevue. The Wolverines lost their starting goalie and leading scorer but return a couple of captains and all-league players.

This formidable test should help the Mariners prepare for league contests on the horizon.
