The Peninsula women went into the half up just 2-0 against Everett, but erupted for six goals in the second half to run away with the match 8-0.
Millie Long, Chiaki Takase and Briana-Jean Tanaka all scored two goals. Karenza Chavez scored a goal and Hannah Wagner of Sequim High School added her first goal of the year for the Pirates.
Long, who has 13 goals for the season, added an assist, while Taya Bohenko and Allysun Gerke also had assists. Talia Marini and Hedvig Persson each played goalkeeper and combined for five saves. It was the Pirates’ fourth straight shutout and seventh shutout of the year.
In fact, since allowing three goals in the season-opener back in August, the Pirates have allowed just one goal in their past eight matches. And that one goal came in the 87th minute of an 11-1 blowout.
