Things are coming together for the Kentwood High boys soccer team.

Stuck in a race for one of the four playoff berths from the South Puget Sound League North Division, the Conquerors picked up a critical win Tuesday night at French Field, knocking off first-place Kentridge 1-0.

It was Kentwood's third-straight win. The Conquerors (6-3-1 in league play with 19 points) also kept alive their five-game unbeaten streak.

Eli Peterson provided all the offense needed, netting an unassisted goal in the 33rd minute.

Goalkeeper Rodney Greiling collected the shutout.

The win coupled with Jefferson's 3-1 loss to Tahoma helped the Conquerors move to within two points of the Raiders in the SPSL North standings, but they remain in a tie for fourth place with the Bears and Kentlake. Kentlake knocked off Auburn on Tuesday night 2-1.

The loss snapped Kentridge's eight-game unbeaten streak. During the run, the Chargers had won six games and tied two others.
