Wed. S.J. girls' roundup: Eastern clinches, gives coach 300th win

Eastern clinched its first Olympic Conference American Division girls' soccer title since 2004, and coach Jamie McGroarty earned his 300th career win with the Vikings' 2-0 victory Wednesday at Cherokee.

"When you retire, you look at those things," McGroarty said of the personal milestone. "More importantly, we clinched a conference."

Sarah Kane and Madison Tiernan scored, and Imani Taylor made five saves to pick up the shutout.

"It's a real big accomplishment for the kids," McGroarty said. "To clinch it with three games left in our conference, it's a really big achievement."
