The Garfield High girls soccer team continued its remarkable season at Memorial Stadium on Tuesday night by playing Bothell High to a tightly contested 1-1 draw.
The tie put the Bulldogs solidly in the hunt for a playoff berth, lifting their record to 2-2-4 (5-4-5) and a lock on sixth place in the 11-team league.
Garfield got the scoring off on the right foot just two minutes into the game when Ava Lewis slammed in a shot off an assist by Caroline Sheffield.
Bothell answered with an equalizer two minutes later — and then the score remained 1-1 over the rest of regulation play and two five-minute extra periods.
Garfield celebrated Senior Night with a pre-game ceremony acknowledging the contributions of its eldest players. Seniors Emily Proulx, Devon McDonald and Rachel Blazevic were commemorated with comments by teammates and given gifts of a team photo and flowers. The girls’ parents joined them on the field for the presentation.
