The first goal allowed by the Tumwater girls soccer team in well over 21 hours’ worth of gametime was enough to hand the T-Birds their first loss of the season, as Hockinson pulled a 1-0 upset at Sid Otton Field in the first round of the 2A District 4 tournament.
The goal came in the first half courtesy of Hockinson’s Division I commit Abby Dombrow. From there, the Hawks held on for Tumwater’s first shutout loss to a 2A opponent in over a year.
It’s Tumwater’s first loss at home in nearly two years, with the most recent coming on Nov. 2, 2021, in the second round of the district tournament — to Hockinson.
The Thunderbirds will play with their season on the line Thursday, back at home against Aberdeen.
