Division II
*Despite
missing 5 starters due to academic probation, Curtis
pulled out a huge 9-8 OT victory over Vashon
clinching the #1 seed for the Vikings. Curtis now
has a 21 game winning streak.
NOTE: For statistical
purposes, Division II standings have all teams
listed together through sportability.com. Realize
that Division II is in fact split into 3 conferences
and playoffs will be determined based on standings
within these conferences. Here are the conference
standings:

Note: The second tie-breaker
used (after Head-to-Head) in determining playoff
seedings is Strength of Conference (Combined
Conference record). There is only one
cross-conference game remaining 5/5 Franklin @
Kitsap. If Kitsap wins, then the Olympic Conference
will hold the advantage in this tie-break with a 6-4
combined cross-conference record. If Franklin wins,
then each conference would sit at 5-5 and this
tie-breaker will be a non-factor.

W-L |
Outlook |
|
1) |
Curtis |
9-0 |
Clinched #1 seed in playoffs |
|
2) |
Eastside |
8-1 |
Only loss is to Curtis. Expected to stay as
the #2 seed. |
|

Can reach #2 if they can win out and Overlake
can beat Eastside. |
|
4) |
Garfield |
7-2 |
Guaranteed to finish #6 or better. |
|
5) |
Vashon |
6-2 |
Tie-breakers favor Vashon to finish #4 as long
as they win last two. |
|
6) |
Overlake |
6-2 |
Holding on to #6, but loss to Eastside will
drop Owls to #7 |
|
7) |
Issaquah |
6-3 |
One more win and an Overlake loss could push
Issaquah as high as #5. |
|
8) |
Bainbridge |
3-5 |
Despite two straight losses, schedule favors
Spartans. |
|
8) |
Kitsap |
3-5 |
Must beat Franklin and Klahowya and the Wolves
are in. |

Klahowya |
3-5 |
Kitsap beats Franklin, Klahowya beats Kitsap
and Vashon, Eagles are in! |

*Contrary
to Sportability�s standings, the standings should
look as follows. Bellevue defeated Curtis earlier
in the week. Furthermore, Bellevue had to forfeit a
game with Mercer Island earlier in the season and
Sportability�s standings does not yet reflect these
facts.

TOP PERFORMERS
Matt Haines-Junior,
Attack, Nathan Hale
The Raiders started the week in
�do or die� mode and Haines led the charge. Matt
netted one goal in a tight 5-4 win over Lakeside.
Then Haines notched 4 goals, 1 assist in a big
victory over Panthers. Matt now has 28 points (20g,
8a) in 10 league games, more than twice as many as
the next closest teammate (13 pts). He has proved
to be the Raiders leader on the offensive end.
John Harty-Senior,
Attack, Issaquah
Harty has been fairly
consistent all year averaging just under 5 ppg.
This week Harty led an inspired Issaquah offense
with 6 goals in a 12-2 win against Overlake. John
now sits in 3rd place overall amongst
Division II scoring leaders with 43 pts.
Christian Lindemann-Junior,
Midfield, Maple Valley
Lindemann picked a perfect week
to earn his 3rd and 4th
hat-tricks of the season. In fact, his 3 goals
against Port Angeles, followed by 4 goals against
the Panthers marked his 3rd straight
hat-trick. He also scored 3 goals against Bellevue
on 4/26. His performances helped the Vandals earn
two big wins and stay in the playoff chase.
Spencer Evans-Senior,
Midfield, Bainbridge
As Bainbridge continues to play
above the rest in Division I, many of the Spartan�s
performances are probably seen as �ho-hum�.
However, this week, the Spartans faced a true test
against Mercer Island and Evans led the way with 4
goals and 1 assist. Headed to Denver next year, the
senior has played steady all season registering 21
goals, 7 assists.
Dustin Cramer-Sophomore,
Defense, Issaquah
A converted midfielder half way
through last season, Cramer has developed into
Issaquah�s most reliable defender. In an early
season match-up with Overlake, Cramer was put to the
test against one of the league�s top attackman,
Charlie Kenyon. In that contest, Kenyon got the
best of the young defender scoring 6 goals. This
week, Cramer got some revenge and won the rematch in
a big way. He held Kenyon without a
point!
