Enumclaw's offense roared to life in the second quarter, adding seven goals, while limiting Emerald Ridge to a single goal, taking an 8-1 advantage at halftime.

Emerald Ridge rallied in the second half, scoring ten goals while the Hornets added another five, keeping the game close.

Senior captain Lindsay Bowden led the Hornets' scoring, with six goals. Junior Ali Ballard added four goals, Erin Stucker scored two, and Rachel Deonigi added one.

The Hornets host Auburn on Wednesday for a league contest, and travel to Gig Harbor for a game with Peninsula on Friday afternoon, before hosting the Gig Harbor Tides on Saturday at 12:30, as part of the Enumclaw Aquatic Center's April Pools Day event.
