The Hazen High School boys soccer team is back in the state tournament, and boy, did they earn it.

“There is a lot of pressure playing one loser out game,” Hazen head coach Ken Matthews said in a news release. “Imagine what the guys have been going through playing three in five days. It wasn’t easy but they got to The Dance.”
Hazen earned a matchup against KingCo Conference foe Interlake in the first round of the state playoffs. They play the Saints 7:30 p.m. May 19 at Interlake High School. Read more

Hazen loses in first round at state, 5-0
May 31, 2012
Scoring two goals in the first three minutes, Bainbridge High School quickly set the tone for what became a 5-0 runaway over Hazen High School on May 16 at Renton Stadium in a first-round match of the Class 3A boys soccer tournament.
Sophomore Peter Fawley and junior Sebastian Scales put home close-range blasts to give fifth-ranked Bainbridge (14-2-4) irreversible early momentum as the Spartans cruised into the quarterfinals against top-ranked Shorewood.
Hazen finished 9-6-4.
“A quick start always makes it comfortable,” said Bainbridge coach George Vukic, whose team’s 12-match unbeaten streak ended last week when Lakeside scored twice in the first six minutes of a 2-1 victory over the Spartans. “It helps you get your rhythm and break the ice.”
The Spartans did that in the opening minutes, and followed with another close-in goal in the 23rd minute by Will Economy.
