In the NWAC, all that was left to settle in the final week of league play was the seeding for the men's second berth and rights to host in the opening round, but a stalemate between Walla Walla and Wenatchee Valley was all the Warriors needed.

NWAC EAST - MEN
Wednesday, October 29
In a showdown between the two sides fighting for second and the right to host in the first round of the playoffs, it looked liked the hosts were going to take the win on Vincente Flores' (Touchet, WA) goal in the 84th minute. The Knights' Mauricio Perez (East Wenatchee, WA), however, tied it up in stoppage time, but they needed a victory to avoid finishing behind the Warriors on tiebreakers.

Jesus Torres (Pasco, WA) scored the opening goal in the 41st minute and would later set up Brandon Babinski's (Spokane, WA) tally to cap the scoring in the 83rd. Devin Leon scored the second strike in the 66th on a ball from Alex Opland (Rathdrum, ID).

Saturday, November 1
In a back-and-forth contest, the Hawks needed to rally in the second half for the win. They initially took the lead when Fredy Rodriguez (Wapato, ID) connected with Jorge Campos (Othello, WA) 16 minutes in, but the Chukars pulled even at the half-hour mark via Diego Diaz Sanchez. Just before intermission Oziel Osequera (Blackfoot, ID) put the visitors in front. David Esparza scored the equalizer in the 69th on a ball from Cesar Garcia (Grandview, WA) and Osvaldo Martinez netted the winner three minutes later.
Spokane 0-1 North Idaho
Matt Howard (Post Falls, ID) scored the deciding tally three minutes in with an olympico on a corner, and despite having a man advantage for the final 20 minutes following Jeffrey Rokstad's (Sandpoint, ID) send-off, the Bigfoot were unable to equalize. Their biggest nemesis was the woodwork as they hit the frame four times during the match, including one goalkeeper Mitchell Markovetz (Boise, ID) saved first. MORE [+]
NOTES
Micah Weller (Cheney, WA) scored the lone goal for Peninsula College in a 1-1 draw against Trinity Lutheran Wednesday. He also provided what proved to be the winner in a 5-2 victory against Olympic with Trevan Estrellado (Cheney, WA) also tallying an assist in the win.
