On Thursday, Oct. 8, Mount Si girls soccer faced off against Woodinville in what would ultimately end up as a 0-0 tie game.

Darren Brown, soccer coach at Mount Si High School, said that the team was never able to play up to their full potential in the game, but were good enough to keep themselves in the game and not fall behind.

“We started off real slow against Woodinville, and we never really got into the full swing of things,” Brown said. “That happens some matches, we just couldn’t really warm up and play to our full potential, but we got a tie, we got a point. It could have been worse, but we’re definitely at a steady pace, improvement-wise.”

After the game on Thursday, the team’s record was five wins, two losses, and four ties. Brown says the large amount of ties could have been turned into easy wins with the right opportunities.

“We have tied a lot, which means we’ve had some up and down results, but for the most part we are doing alright,” Brown said.

“Record-wise we are doing fine. I think some of those ties could have turned into wins, we could have got three points instead of one, but that’s part of taking things in stride and even from day one, we got better and better and kept seeing improvement. If we can do that, we’ll head into the post season in the right direction.”

Brown highlighted Nellie Joselyn, captain and goalie, as one of the great players on the team. The game on Thursday was her fifth shutout of the season.

“She’s been incredible all year long and she’s kept us in a lot of games, she’s been pretty huge for us,” Brown said. “We are banking on her to really finish out the regular season strong and hopefully in the post season we will go for a ride.”

There are three games left in the season, against Inglemoor, Issaquah, and Eastlake. Games are every Tuesday and Thursday.
