The Spartans capped an unbeaten regular season in 4A KingCo on Thursday with a 1-0 win over Issaquah, taking the top seed from the conference to the KingCo title game.

Jack O’Keefe and Alex Appel combined on another shutout in goal, the seventh of the year against a KingCo foe.

Jason Twaddle scored the only goal of the night, finding the back of the net on an unassisted strike.

Issaquah, which entered the game off four straight shutout victories of its own and 9-0-0 in league play, will get its chance at a rematch for the league championship.

The KingCo tournament champion takes the conference’s automatic state tournament spot, while the loser of the title game will need two more wins to advance to the field of 16.
