Well, well, well... a little drama this Tuesday evening. Just days after pulling even with West Valley, Clarkston was upended in Pullman by the Greyhounds. Though no game has been a gimme this year virtually anywhere (next game of topic prime example), Thursday's slate of East Valley for WV and Shadle Park for Clarkston - both home games - seems a pretty sure thing to see West Valley finish alone at the top.
As for the other surprise on the night. While Deer Park finishing with a sweep of the other NEA elites - Lakeside and Freeman - was not a shock given the previous results, the manner in which it occured was a tad surprising. Despite starting eight freshman, host Freeman was able to shut down leading scorer Livvy Moore, preventing her from a bid to score in every league game, and hold the Lady Stags to a paltry 1-0 victory.

NEA 1A
Deer Park 1-0 Freeman
A failed clearance by the Scotties allowed the league leaders to capitalize as Livvy Moore picked it up and drove up the flank and along endline before creating an open look on goal for a one-touch finish by defender/forward Ella Carnahan midway through the first half and that would prove to be decisive as the two were left in a stalemate from there. Deer Park's defense kept the Scotties off the scoreboard for the first time this season as they had previous managed to spoil shutout efforts against the Lady Stags and Lakeside in earlier contests. Meanwhile, Freeman kept Deer Park from reaching three for the first time in league play.
