The Kentridge High School girls soccer team lost in overtime to Gig Harbor 2-1 in the opening round of the Class 4A state tournament on Nov. 12 at French Field.
It was a frustrating defeat for coach Sherri Rolfs, whose teams have lost in the first round four straight years. The Chargers finished the year 13-4-2.
“Do I sound disappointed?” Rolfs said. “I am. We had a ton of chances right in front of the net, but couldn’t finish. We have a great team, but alas, we are out.”
She attributes the loss to part nerves, part frustration from coming so close and not scoring.
“First round is the hardest … nerves are super high. They were determined to get past first round. Driven. And they deserved it. “
The defeat left Rolfs a bit depressed.
“To be honest, I am very down in the dumps. I throw my heart and soul into it,” Rolfs said.
The silver lining, she said is Kentridge only loses three seniors this year.
