On a night of nailbiters with four of the five contests decided by one goal, only one thing was really decided. Gonzaga Prep's win secured the top 4A seed out of the GSL. Now it comes down to Wednesday with the GSL league title and the top 3A seed at stake with the top three sides - GP, Mt Spokane and Mead - all separated by just two points.

Central Valley 3-4 Gonzaga Prep
It was just like any other game and then if you blinked, you missed three goals in the span of about a minute-and-a-half or two. Prep kicked off the flurry in the 15th with Zoe Crockett firing right back before Erin Ewers pup the Pups back in front. It was all quiet again for a while before another string of three - not quite as tightly packed - livened things up. Sammie Symmes scored on a nice long-range effort in the 50th for a two-goal advantage. Though it seemed like it might be enough the Bears clawed back in it as just a few minutes later Carly Imes scored as she was going to ground and then Crockett went on one of her patented half-field runs to level matters. In the end though, it was a corner that decided the contest as Symmes found the head of Keagan Austin for the victory.
