The North Idaho College women joined their men's counterpart in the postseason with a pair of road wins while the men wrapped up their regular season campaign with a pair of road wins over NWAACC sides.
NWAACC EAST - MEN
Wednesday, October 16
Trailing since the Warriors took the lead on a goal from Jose Herrera-Torres off a ball from Cesar Rodriguez (Yakima, WA) in the 23rd, the Knights kept the division leaders in check, at least until halftime beckoned. Mario Guizar (Kennewick, WA) scored a minute before the break and the Warriors ran away with the result with three goals in a seven-minute span before the hour mark. Jhony Mendoza (Yakima, WA) started the spree in the 52nd when he hit Franky Arroyo (Yakima, WA) and Rodriguez found Saif Al Rikabi two minutes later with Guizar scoring another unassisted goal in the 58th. Fabian Alvarez spoiled the shutout in the 72nd minute.
Columbia Basin 0 :: 3 Spokane
Brian Clark scored two early goals in the 17th and 22nd minutes on balls from Jared Fretheim (Spokane, WA) and Devin Leon, but it was the effort of goalkeeper Curtis Hill (Spokane, WA), who had a fantastic night in goal against a Hawks side that created numerous scoring opportunities at the other end. Juan Arroyo connected with Leon with 20 minutes left to cap the scoring. INWsn REPORT

Walla Walla 1 :: 0 Columbia Basin
The Hawks nearly surprised Walla Walla with Dakota Wickard (Pullman, WA) making 17 saves, but one got past her with 20 minutes left as Alli Madril (Boise, ID) saved the Warriors from dropping points in the race for the East title.

Treasure Valley 4 :: 4 Wenatchee Valley
In a wild affair, the two exchanged goals early on followed by a stunning late rally. The Chukars grabbed the opener on the road three minutes in through Ellena Fajardo (Eagle, ID), but the Knights pulled even just a minute later when London Cleverly (Moses Lake, WA) found Itzel Castro (Wenatchee, WA). Treasure Valley's Regan Hyde (Preston, ID) restored the lead in the 17th and then turned provider on Dakota Chapman's (Payette, ID) strike just a minute later. Hyde netted her second goal in the 45th to push the lead to three, but it proved to not be enough as the hosts scored three times in a six-minute span late in the match thanks to Daniela Vargas (Wenatchee, WA). Vargas set up Castro for her second in the 72nd and then scored herself two minutes later before capping the comeback in the 77th by finding Alma Franco for the equalizer.
Yakima Valley 0 :: 5 Spokane
Tasha Luu (Colville, WA) found Rainey Pelzel for the opener seven minutes in, but that was all the Bigfoot could muster in the first half against the pointless Yaks. The second half was a different story as Luu scored twice early on, netting the first on a ball from Rashelle Fisher seven minutes into the half and the second courtesy of Pelzel in the 59th. Taylor Strasser (Spokane, WA) connected with Sarah Marro (Spokane, WA) for the final tally in the 89th.
