TACOMA — Less than 24 hours removed from its first loss of the season, the Seton Catholic girls soccer team ended the 2024 season on a high note at the state final four.
Hailey Herboth scored a first-half goal on an assist from Kaia Lauder, goalkeeper Hailey Hammerstrom made three saves and the No. 2 seed Cougars knocked off No. 4 Cashmere 1-0 in the Class 1A state third-place game Saturday at Mount Tahoma High School.
Seton Catholic (22-1) earned the program’s first state trophy to cap a banner season that also included an outright Trico League title and a District 4 championship.
In their first appearance at the state final four, the Cougars suffered their first and only loss, a 1-0 defeat to No. 3 Bellevue Christian in the state semifinals Friday. The 1-0 win over the Bulldogs on Saturday was their 15th shutout of the season.
