Giovanny Soto scored twice in the second half, helping the Wenatchee Panthers defeat the Skyline Spartans, 2-1, on May 19 in the first round of the Class 4A boys soccer state tournament at Wenatchee Valley College.
The Spartans fell behind early in the second half on a Soto penalty kick, but tied the game shortly thereafter as Grant Holland assisted on a Sean Curtis goal. Soto scored the game-winner with eight minutes to play, ending Skyline’s season with a 10-3-4 record.
Skyline won three straight elimination games at the KingCo Conference tournament to reach state. The team has eight seniors graduating, but key contributors like Daniel Luis Miller, Neel Baxi and Sergio Palomino will be eligible to return.
