Skyline started the 4A state soccer tournament with a bang Tuesday night, beating Puyallup 3-0 at Sparks Stadium.

Braxton Griffin put the Spartans on the board first in the 50th minute with a goal off an assist from Ben Molyneux-Elliot. Jake Bechtel padded the lead just two minutes later off an assist from Giancarlo Santoro and Griffin added another score in the 78th minute.

The win advanced Skyline to the quarterfinals where they will face Lake Stevens at 1 p.m., Saturday at Snohomish Stadium.

The winner of that game moves into the state semifinals May 28 against either Todd Beamer or Federal Way at Lakewood’s Harry Lang Stadium.
