Editors note

Edited to correct the details of the goal for the Peninsula women.

PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College’s soccer teams had all they could handle in their Northwest Athletic Conference quarterfinal matches at Wally Sigmar Field on Saturday.

Both bands of Pirates squeaked by with 1-0 wins to advance to the NWAC Final Four at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila next Saturday.

The women had to go to a second golden goal period against North Idaho before freshman Ellie Small followed up a Myu Ban free kick that hit the underside of the crossbar to put the ball in net in the 106th minute.
