Elma’s season came to an end with a 2-1 loss to Royal in the 1A State Tournament second-round game on Friday at Vashon Island High School.

The Eagles (15-4-2 overall) fell beind 1-0 after the Kinghts (16-3-3) scored on a break 15 minutes into the game.

Elma goalkeeper Trey Yeager made a key save on a shot to the near post to keep the score at 1-0, but Royal eventually capitalized with its second of the game on a long goal off a blocked shot in the 33rd minute.

The Eagles found a spark going into halftime when senior defender Matthew Wood’s goal kick was received by midfielder Ivan Rodriguez, who sent it forward to sophomore midfielder Jordan Kain for a goal just before halftime.

Elma failed to get the equalizer on its few offensive chances in the second half, leading to the 2-1 season-ending loss.
