One win equals at least three more games.
That’s the mathematical equation facing the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad as it heads to Lynden Wednesday for the start of the district playoffs. Knock off host Lynden Christian tomorrow, and the Wolves are guaranteed two more games at districts and a berth at tri-districts next week.
It won’t be easy, with the Lyncs coming in at 9-6-1 and the Wolves at 1-15, but Coupeville has been gelling as the season goes, and anything can happen on the pitch.
Lose and it’s time to turn in uniforms. Win and the Wolves advance to play the winner of South Whidbey-Blaine Friday in the district semifinals. The winner of that match plays for the district title Saturday, while the loser will square off in the third-place game earlier that day.
The winner of districts gets an automatic bid to the state tourney, while the second through fourth place finishers will need to win at least one game at tri-districts to advance to the big dance.
In addition to the Coupeville and South Whidbey games, King’s will host Friday Harbor and Meridian will host Mount Baker on the top half of the bracket.
