EVERETT — Peninsula College’s North Region champion men’s and women’s soccer teams each completed the regular season with shutout victories over Everett on Wednesday.
Sam Oliveira scored her Northwest Athletic Conference-leading 20th goal of the season in the 23rd minute to lead the Pirate women to a 1-0 defeat of the Trojans.
Peninsula goalkeepers Alycia Flora, Chloe Keenan-Merlo and Andrea Kenagy combined in net on the shutout.
The Pirates (15-0-0, 19-0-0) have now won 32 consecutive games and have gone 39 games without a defeat — both marks stretching back to the 2018 season.
Peninsula will await the result of Wednesday’s first-round playoff contest between East No. 3 Spokane (10-6-1) and West No. 2 Bellevue (13-3-1).
The winner of that match will advance to face the Pirates at Wally Sigmar Field at Peninsula on Saturday, Nov. 9.

That score stood up until Theodore Baiye added an insurance goal assisted by Jonathan De Motta in the 73rd minute.
Goalkeeper Evan Scholes earned the shutout — his 10th on the season.
Peninsula will await the winner of Wednesday’s match between East No. 3 Wenatchee Valley (7-4-4) and West runner-up Highline (8-6-1).
