BIG FEAT. Spencer Schomaker scored three goals in the 6-2 Tide victory over Yakima to help the team win the Northwest Division and head to the playoffs in Fresno.
Tacoma’s PDL soccer team clicking in time

One recent performance isn’t as much of a guarantee of a team’s sharpness as coaches might hope, but it is still generally a good sign. And if the Tacoma Tide’s performance in its do-or-die game against Yakima July 19 is a fair indication, there is reason to be optimistic that the team’s first playoff game of the season in Fresno July 26 won’t be its last.
Led by Spencer Schomaker’s three goals, the Tide easily defeated the Reds, 6-2, July 19, winning the Northwest Division of the Western Conference of the Premier Development League of the United Soccer Leagues. This will be the Tide’s second trip to the playoffs in two years.
