**Mercer Island and Eastside held serve and clinched playoff spots. Mercer will be Sound #1, Eastside will be Sound #2.

**Bainbridge reclaimed first place in the Mountain by percentage points having played 1 more game than Seattle Prep at this point. The two face-off this week in a match-up that will essentially decide who takes the Mountain crown. Although, Eastside and Nathan Hale still have a bit to say about the final outcome. Eastside still has a game against Bainbridge, while Hale will face Prep again soon. If Nathan Hale can win both its games this week and Seattle Prep loses to Bainbridge the Raiders will stay alive in the playoff chase.

**Mercer Island takes their unbeaten record on the road this week as they travel to New York to face nationally ranked Fayetteville-Manlius and Albany Academy. We wish the Islanders luck as they embark on their journey east to represent for the Northwest.

** Three more wins for Division II teams over Division I opponents as Garfield defeated Seattle Prep, Roughriders defeated Nathan Hale and Issaquah defeated Bellevue. In fact, these three Division II teams have a combined 6-3 record against Division I competition this year!

**A huge week for Garfield! After knocking off Seattle Prep, the Bulldogs turned around and ended the Roughriders bid for an undefeated season with a 5-4 victory. The win pulls them to a game behind Roughriders for the Evergreen Conference title. Drew Snider continues to lead on the offensive end and Jason Montoya continues to keep the nets clean. Montoya made 20 saves against the Roughriders.

JOE PICHA, SR, Attack, BAINBRIDGE�Picha helped lead Bainbridge to a 3 win week with 16 points on 12 goals, 4 assists. The big week has vaulted Picha to the top of the scoring charts in both goals and pts/game.

DREW SNIDER, SO, Midfield, GARFIELD...Only a sophomore, Snider has been the leader on the offensive end for the Bulldogs all season. Against the Roughriders this week, Snider had a hand in 3 of Garfield�s 5 goals with 2 goals, 1 assists in the 5-4 victory.

5/4 Bainbridge @ Seattle Prep �The Rematch! This could and should decide who finishes #1 in the Sound and who plays Mercer in the semis.

5/4 Issaquah @ Garfield�Another big rematch as Garfield took the first meeting 4-3. Winner of this one will sit in 2^nd in the Evergreen Conference.
