Issaquah Notes:
Issaquah 1-1-6-1- 9
Glacier Peak 2-2-1-3- 8

Issaquah sure has come to love the 1-goal thriller. This one had the purple and gold teetering on the brink.

Issaquah possessed for the first several minutes but couldn't find the target and eventually turned it over. The first time Glacier Peak touched the ball, the clear turned into a break and 1-0 lead. From there, the Grizzlies played a patient fundamental offense, taking advantage of breakdowns for easy step downs and a crease finish. Issaquah managed to squeeze in a couple but it was Glacier Peak in control by half.

Cale Gunter quickly made it his solo mission as he scored three straight unassisted to start the 3rd quarter, sparking Issaquah to a 6 goal quarter. However the last of the quarter came with controversy. A solid back door feed from KJ Lewis was quick sticked by TJ Victory. Peak's netminder dove across and appeared to make an incredible save but the officials ruled that the ball had crossed the plane. 8-5 Issaquah into the 4th.

Glacier rallied themselves cutting to 8-7 before Issaquah responded with a Hyde to Lewis goal that proved to be the game winner. Up two with under 3 to play and the ball, Issaquah seemed in control, but an ill advised pass resulted in Peak's ball and a timeout. They cut the lead to one again, but Issaquah won the face and called timeout with just over a minute left, again in control. Issaquah failed to ill much clock and Peak won back possession again, another timeout. Out of the timeout, Peak appeared to have cleared but went offside and it proved the dagger as Issaquah ran out the final time to advance to the Quarterfinals.
