Eastern Oregon 1-2 (OT) Providence :: Kaitlyn McLeod put a slow dribbling ball in with just under two minutes remaining in the first half to give the visiting Mountaineers on the road. A rebound opportunity in the second half allowed Grace Ibsen (Helena, MT) to put things level in the 68th and ultimately send the match to overtime. Three minutes into extra time Jenni Qualm put a ball over the defense from midfield, setting up Malena Lennon for the game-winner.

Around the Region
Montana 1-3 Washington State :: Mak Gomera-Stevens kicked things off nicely for the Cougars with a fantastic solo effort two minutes in when she drove through the defense and fired from distance. She made it two in the 33rd minute when she sent a shot into the upper corner off a square ball from Maddy Haro. A midfield turnover allowed Ellie Otteson to feed Alexa Coyle (Bozeman, MT) in the 63rd to make things interesting, but a corner from Haro seven minutes later was nodded home by Maegan O'Neill (Spokane, WA).

Cascade Conference

Eight saves through regulation from Marc Girones kept them in front until Carlos Solorio scored from the top of the box with just over four minutes remaining, sending the match to overtime. Just 73 seconds into extra time the Mountaineers snagged the victory with a bicycle kick goal from Michael Ebel (LaGrande, OR).
