MEN ##############
Treasure Valley 0-3 Walla Walla
The match well a stalemate until late in the game when it turned into a highlight day for Brenden Kenley (Meridian, ID) as he played a role in all three goals for the Warriors.

North Idaho 1-1 Columbia Basin

Spokane 7-2 Wenatchee Valley
The division leaders left little doubt on the road against the Knights with a three goal lead at the break thanks to Breno Rocha and Jonny Cortez (Moses Lake, WA / Shadow MFT).
