The Tacoma Tide bounced back from a poor outing in spokane to dominate the Cascade Surge by a score of 4-0. The Tide made Curtis High School Stadium, once again, look like a comfortable home.
The score was 1-0 at halftime on a penalty kick converted by Ruben Orozco late in the 37th minute. The penalty kick came on from a Brayton Knapp cross. Knapp’s left footed cross met the hand of a Surge defender and the official deemed it worth of a hand ball in the box. Whether the call was fair or not, the Tide dominated possession in the half and were deserving of the goal.
The second half was all Tide. Goals poured in from Spencer Schomaker, making his first appearance of the season and Rory Agu. Schomaker scored in the 62nd minute to make the score 2-0, and Rory Agu scored 2 himself before the final whistle. Jordan Jennings, in goal, pitched the shutout.
