OLYMPIA, WA – The Artesian arena women’s program comes to an end Saturday February 17 as the visiting Bellingham United come to town fighting for a Northwest Premier League (NWPL) Championship berth as they currently sit in 3rd place behind the Tacoma Galaxy. United is behind by one point and Galaxy finished their regular season last weekend. Artesians can play spoiler Saturday night and asking the community to rally and come out to the match.
The Artesians kickoff at 4PM Saturday at the Evergreen State Pavilion where after 10 years Olympia Indoor Soccer are closing their doors to make way for the Geoduck Athletic Department to re-purpose the facility.
Fun activities including a special mini soccer balls for kid’s provided by Van Dorm Realty will have a replica jersey raffle incorporated into the handouts.
Wembley Soccer Shop will be on-site collecting donations for kid’s soccer footwear including cleats, turfs or indoor shoes, new or used and providing to youth soccer families in need.
Kurt Gress, owner of Wembley Soccer Shop is a long time partner of the Artesians soccer club and gearing up for a special raffle through the cleat donation.
“To promote and support our community, I am planning on having various dollar amount gift certificates raffled off to anyone who brings a donation of shoes for the Chinqually Booters Soccer Club shoe swap” said Gress.

TACOMA, WA – The FC Olympia men’s arena team start their playoff journey Saturday at the Tacoma Soccer Center as they face off against in-conference rival South Sound FC (SSFC). SSFC won the tiebreaker in head to head bylaws to be the host team and have three points on the Artesians from their two meetings this season.
7PM kickoff Saturday February 17 in Tacoma following the women’s home match in Olympia. Artesian supporters are encouraged to plan their day to spend at the pavilion for the 4PM women’s kickoff and then the men’s match at 7PM 30 minutes north on Interstate 5 to catch the men’s playoff.
Manny Nicasio broke the club career goal record in late January, 34 goals and looks to add onto his tally. Coach Boatrights clear number one goalkeeper Isaiah Damschen has had a good year shot stopping and will need to have a big game to give the Artesians a chance at a semifinal run.
If the Artesians win Saturday they would need to travel back to Bellingham to face off against the Hammers in the semifinals. The Hammers are a two seed while Tacoma Stars are in first place and both clubs get an opening playoff round bye to rest their legs. Oly-Pen Force kicks off against Everett City FC in the other playoff match Saturday. That match will be in Everett.
