Tri-Cities Athlete of the Week: Kelsee Winston, Hanford soccer

Kelsee Winston had eight saves in regulation to go along with a shootout save as Hanford beat Lewis & Clark 1-0 on Oct. 26 in Class 4A regional soccer action.

Saturday, she had eight saves in a 3-2 win over Central Valley to send the Falcons to the regional championship game.

Hanford will host Chiawana at 6 p.m. Thursday for the District 5/8 title.

The accolades have rolled in this year for Winston, who led a Hanford defense that allowed one goal in its final seven regular-season matches. Winston was named the Mid-Columbia Conference player of the year after the Falcons shared the league title with Southridge, and she was a first-team selection at goalkeeper for the second consecutive season.
