COWICHE -- Rallying from an early deficit, Wahluke's boys soccer team surged to a 3-1 victory over Highland in a SCAC semifinal match on Tuesday.

The Warriors (13-5) will play at Connell on Thursday at 4 p.m. in the district championship. The winner qualifies for state.

Highland jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute, but Wahluke seized the lead by halftime with goals from Pedro Acevedo and Pedro De Lira.

The Scotties can still earn one of the district's two state berths but it will require winning two loser-out matches, starting with Thursday's home match against Royal.

First half: 1, Highland, Luis Silva, 3:51; 2, Wahluke, Pedro Acevedo (Humberto Garcia), 16:58; 3, Wahluke, Pedro De Lira (PK), 26:02.
