In a pair of title contender showdowns Tuesday evening the Kamiakin Braves and Lakeside Eagles both earned 1-0 victories against Chiawana and Freeman, respectively.
## Mid-Columbia Conference ##
Chiawana 0-1 Kamiakin :: An early goal from Maddie Morgan, who intercepted a defensive pass to create the play, kept Kamiakin as the lone unbeaten side in the MCC as they edged out a Riverhawks side missing a couple key players to injury. The tally kept Morgan's scoring streak going through all six league games this season. The Braves were the last team to shutout the Riverhawks in regular season league play, handing them their only goose egg on September 14 of last year.
K: Maddie Morgan 13
GK - K: Alyssa Humphrey 2 saves (40 mins) & Campbelle Hunt 5 saves (40 mins); C: Abigail Whiston 10 saves
Hanford 2-4 Richland :: The Falcons scored first in the game, but no further details are available from there. Though they have a loss on the ledger the win helped the Bombers keep pace with Kamiakin as they both have five wins.
H: Emily Sondag
No further details available
Southridge 4-1 Pasco :: The Suns kept themselves in the second position among the 3A programs thanks to Peyton Santos, who rallied then to the victory. After falling behind midway through the first half she scored the equalizer with about nine minutes left in the first half. After the break she put them in front in the 53rd and set up Violet Duran five minutes later. She would finish a hat-trick in the 72nd.

East Valley 2-0 Clarkston :: Taryn Baxter continues to excel for East Valley. She scored 12 minutes into the match and set up Kaitlin Harvey's goal about three minutes into first half stoppage time for some insurance. Lexie Thompson made seven stops for the shutout.

GK - EV: Lillie Thompson 7 saves; C: Alex Grovom 8 saves, 2 GA (40 mins) & Erika Pickett 3 saves, 0 GA (40 mins)
Cheney 5-4 West Valley :: In a wild back-and-forth affair the Eagles grabbed an early two goal lead just seven minutes in via Morgan Riojas and Frankie Schade, but the Blackhawks rallied with Mackenzie Huotari and Emma Scott evening it up before intermission and Gabby Nguyen putting them in front two minutes into the second half. Alyssa Amann leveled things back out again just seven minutes later and after another Scott tally put Cheney back in front she struck for another equalizer. Two minutes from time, however, Huotari's second of the game was the deciding goal for the Blackhawks.

## Northeast A League ##
Freeman 0-1 Lakeside :: The usually sure-handed Hannah Pylant made one mistake in the tightly contested match and the first goal allowed in league play this season by the Scotties proved to be the difference with the Eagles handing them their first loss.
L: Payton Stueckle 44
GK - L: Payton Williams 2 saves; F: Hannah Pylant 7 saves

Moscow 4-2 Clarkston :: Info not available
Tuesday, September 18
Deer Park 0-1 Pullman :: The result showed that perhaps the GNL is a bit stronger top-to-bottom than the table may present as the Greyhounds, winless in league play, won both games against NEA opposition (topped Medical Lake Saturday 4-0) and have a win over Shadle Park on their ledger. Deer Park, though, made Jocelyn Gross work for the shutout, eliciting 14 saves.
