With a win and a loss at the District 1/2 2A Softball Tournament in Sedro Woolley on Wednesday, the Mountlake Terrace Hawks find themselves still in the running for their ultimate goal — a berth to the state softball championships later this month.
The Hawks defeated the Lynden Lions 6-3 in a quarterfinal district tourney game at Janicki Fields, then fell in a wild affair 14-13 to the Lakewood Cougars in a semifinal matchup.
The split in games Wednesday sets up a scenario that Terrace has to win two straight games in Friday’s district tourney action to qualify for state.
Terrace’s victory Wednesday over the district tourney No. 3-seeded Lions was fueled by Jenny Maxfield’s five RBIs in the game. Then in the Hawks’ matchup with No. 2 seed Lakewood, it was Jamie Bingaman with a five-RBI game – but it wouldn’t be enough as the Cougars built a 14-5 lead then held off the late-charging Hawks for the victory.
Terrace will face No. 4-seed Sedro-Woolley on Friday, May 17, in a loser-out tournament contest at 4 p.m. The winner of the Hawks – Cubs clash will play the winner of the Lynden – Anacortes game in the district tourney’s 3rd/4th place game for a ticket to state; that contest is expected to begin at approximately 6:30 p.m.

In other Mountlake Terrace postseason action on Wednesday, the Hawks’ boys soccer team saw their 2019 campaign come to a close after a 1-0 overtime defeat to the Ellensburg Bulldogs in a WIAA State 2A Boys Soccer Tournament round-of-16 loser-out game played at Ellensburg High School.
The Bulldog’s Antonio Magana slotted a low shot past Terrace goalkeeper Ben Leonard from 10 yards out for the overtime golden goal game-winner.
Terrace ends the season with a record of 7-10-4.
