Knights girls soccer blanks Wahluke 4-0 to remain undefeated

ROYAL CITY — The Royal Knights girls soccer team (3-0) are off to a strong start to the 2026 season after defeating the Wahluke Warriors (1-2) 4-0 at home Tuesday. The Knights Head Coach Jens Jensen feels pretty good with how his team is playing in the early phases of the regular season. “We’re starting to settle into something that’s going to work,” he said. “The whole idea is to try to create pressure and hopefully we can beat a team before they set up. What’s going to happen to us is that teams are going to start bunkering in, and we’re trying really hard to see if we can beat them before they set up.” The Knights went on the attack right away against the Warriors, finding their first goal at the hands of Justine Fitzhugh within the first 10 minutes of the game. From there, they built their lead with two more goals by Marilyn Deras and Briseydi Pacheco before halftime creating a commanding 3-0 lead by the break.
