The Hazen soccer team picked up its first win of the year on Saturday, besting Prairie 3-2 at home.

While the teams have faced off multiple times in recent years during the postseason – most recently when Prairie bested Hazen in the first round of last year’s district tournament – this was the first regular season match-up between the schools.

Hazen got on the board first with a unassisted goal from Amy Warmhoven on a corner kick, 11 minutes into the first half.

Priaire tied it up in the 14th minute, but Hazen went back ahead in the 16th minute on a goal by Madison Taylor, assisted by Allison Sargeant.

Senior captain Taylor Lenton then put through a third goal with about a minute left in the half for a 3-1 Hazen lead at the midway point.

Prairie was able to pull within 1 with a goal about 2 minutes into the second half, but Hazen was able to hold on for their first win of the year.

On Thursday, Sept. 10, Hazen played to a 1-1 draw with Olympic. Meagan Kelly got the goal for Hazen in that game.

The Highlanders are now 1-2-1 on the year. They are scheduled to play Lindbergh Tuesday at Renton Memorial Stadium and at Vashon Island on Wednesday.
