KIRKLAND – Northwest looks to continue a pair of streaks Saturday when it visits Evergreen State in Olympia at 1 p.m.

Due to heavy rains and potentially poor field conditions at Evergreen State, Saturday's soccer games have been moved to Capital High School in Olympia at 2707 Conger Ave. Northwest.
The Eagles, who have won all 16 games in the series, collected its 11th consecutive victory of the season on Saturday to match the school-record unbeaten string of the 2011 and 2014 teams. Both of those prior streaks included ties. The Eagles go for sole possession of the unbeaten streak record Saturday.
