The Bellevue girls soccer team had it out for Mount Si last season.

Not only did the Wolverines defeat the Wildcats in both of its regular season meetings, but Bellevue also knocked Mount Si out of the playoffs with a 1-0 win in the KingCo 3A tournament.

So the Wildcats had plenty of motivation for revenge on Sept. 25 when the two teams met for the first time in 2008. And thanks to Hailey Conway’s late goal, the Wildcats broke their skid against Bellevue and hung on for a 3-2 win in Bellevue.

Stephanie Burk scored a pair of goals for Mount Si (3-2-3, 2-1-1), who had to rally from a 1-0 deficit after Amelia Notari opened up the scoring for Bellevue with a goal in the 18th minute.

Jessica Neiman knotted things up at two for Bellevue (2-3-4, 2-1-2) with a late goal in the 80th minute before Conway’s goal sealed the win for Mount Si.
