NWAC East Tonight 9.27.17: Walla Walla Women Edge Yakima Valley

The midweek slate was light with just three games Tuesday and Wednesday. Treasure Valley, not surprisingly, swept visiting Blue Mountain by a combined 13-2 scoreline and Walla Walla kept their record perfect at 6-0-0 in the women's table with a 2-1 decision against visiting Yakima Valley.

WOMEN  ##############

9/26 Blue Mountain 0-7 Treasure Valley 
Three different players scored in the first half for the Chukars with Marisa Saldivar, Sammie Patterson and Krystal Benitez finding the back of the net. Saldivar also scored in the second half with Kylie Hicks scoring the next two and Ruby Gomez scoring the final tally. Patterson and Gomez also had an assist. Lupita Villavicencio recorded the shutout with three saves.

9/27 Yakima Valley 1-2 Walla Walla 
The two were deadlocked over an hour before Chelsea Marozik scored the opening goal for the Warriors. Tate Kautzky found Haley Wammock four minutes later for what proved to be the game-winning strike with Nelly Pulido scoring for the Yaks via Anna Kallie. That was all YVC could muster though as the Warriors held on to remain perfect.

INW Players Elsewhere:  Nothing of note.
