DUVALL — Flooding forced Cedarcrest High School to wait two days to play its girls soccer state-playoff match. When the rain let up and the Snoqualmie River finally receded a little, the Red Wolves let loose.
Unbeaten Cedarcrest poured in four goals in the first 27 minutes and beat visiting Steilacoom 5-0 Thursday in a Class 2A first-round match originally scheduled for Tuesday. The Red Wolves rained 35 shots on goal.
Cedarcrest (20-0) earned a spot in the quarterfinals against Ridgefield at 1 p.m. Saturday at Tumwater Stadium. Ridgefield beat Ephrata 3-2 in the Spudders' first-round match.
If they Saturday, the Red Wolves from Duvall will play Cheney or West Valley (Spokane) in the semifinals next week.
Senior forward Amanda Johnson scored her 37th and 38th goals this season, and all 22 players on the Cedarcrest roster played. Goalkeepers Holli Butterfield and Kori Butterfield shared the shutout.
