WOMEN  ##############

9/18 Walla Walla 2-1 Wenatchee Valley 
Madeline Kaiser (East Wenatchee, WA) fed Karina Guzman (Brewster, WA) in the 18th minute to give the Knights the initial advantage, but Chelsea Marozik (Richland, WA) scored in the 52nd and Haley Wammock (Yakima, WA) nabbed the winner in the 71st.

9/19 Spokane 3-0 Columbia Basin
Sydney Clements (Spokane, WA) scored six minutes into each half as the Sasquatch rolled to the win. Sabrina Castaneda (Nampa, ID) scored the middle goal in the 17th minute and Michelle Czarapata made two stops for the shutout.

9/20 Walla Walla 2-0 North Idaho 
Haley Wammock scored 20 minutes in via Jennifer Inions (Prosser, WA) and Chelsea Marozik added some insurance in the 33rd in addition to helping goalkeeper Paige Kubista (Nampa, ID) record the shutout. It was her sixth shutout of the season.

INW Players Elsewhere:  None


MEN  ##############

9/18 Walla Walla 3-2 Wenatchee Valley 
In a back-and-forth affair, the visiting Warriors claimed the initial lead when Missael Lopez (Tieton, WA) struck in the 10th minute via Dan Mende (Chubbuck, ID), but the Knights would answer in the 31st when Michael Raya (Yakima, WA) connected with Omar Mendoza (Wenatchee, WA). Lopez reclaimed the lead in the 50th and Freddy Rodriguez (Hermiston, OR) added much-needed insurance as Greysen Gilman (Yakima, WA) would make it a one-goal game via Lenin Guzman (Connell, WA) in the 69th.

9/19 Spokane 0-1 Columbia Basin 
The Bigfoot outsot the hosts and forced more saves from goalkeeper Andres Mendoza (Ephrata, WA), who made four for the shutout, but were unable to connect. That allowed the goal from Israel Gonzalez (Grandview, WA)  to stand as the winning strike.

9/20 Walla Walla 1-0 North Idaho 
Juan Martinez (Milton-Freewater, OR) scored the difference maker in the 37th minute courtesy of Enrique Leal (Hermiston, OR) and Jorge Llerenas (Pasco, WA) made one save to keep the clean sheet.

INW Players Elsewhere:  Emmanuel Hidalgo (Mattawa, WA) set up the second goal to put South Puget Sound up 2-1 at Pierce, but it was not enough in the 3-2 loss... Alain Murhula (Boise, ID) scored the second goal for Whatcom, but Peninsula rallied from two down for the draw.
