Burtenshaw left the game with an apparent knee injury and did not return, though the Hoquiam coaching staff stated the injury turned out to be not as serious as first thought and they chose to keep her on the sidelines as a precautionary move.
Emily Brodhead made 16 saves in net to lead the Grizzlies.

Hoquiam hosts Tenino at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

Two second half goals proved to the the difference in Aberdeen’s 3-1 loss to Centralia on Thursday at Stewart Field in Aberdeen.
The Bobcats (6-6-1, 2-5 2A Evergreen) allowed a goal in the ninth minute on a ball that was mishandled the the Aberdeen goal keeper to give Centralia (6-7, 4-3) the early lead.

Cats freshman Iza Frye got to the loose ball and scored to tie the game at 1-1 in the 16th minute.
Still tied at halftime, Centralia scored just five minutes into the second half and – after multiple Aberdeen offensive chances to tie the game proved fruitless – the Tigers scored on a long shot that slipped through the Aberdeen keeper for a clinching third goal.

This match, they all stepped up and played amazing,” said Langer, whose team held the Tigers to nine shots in the game. “We were unlucky to concede the third goal, but it just caught our keeper and defense by surprise. This loss was a respectable one under the circumstances and we are proud of the quick growth from the entire team.”
