GSL 4A/3A
Gonzaga Prep 8-0 North Central
The Wolfpack stymied the Bullpups for a bit, but just could not contain them once Erin Ewers finally found an open look. She would tally two in the first half and the opener in the second as they ran away with the match and claimed the regular season GSL 4A/3A championship.

Mt Spokane 3-2 (OT) Lewis & Clark
The Tigers became the first side to tally twice against the Wildcats this season, but corner kicks proved to be their undoing on the night as Kylie Stiles found the head of Cami Hattenburg twice, including the overtime winner with just over a minute remaining.

Ridgeline 0-3 Central Valley
After a historic three-game skid, the Bears righted the ship on senior night... and to no surpise it was Zoe Crockett leading the way.

Cheney 1-1 (4-3 SO) University
In the postseason, the Titans may want to avoid a shootout. For the third time in three games that went the distance the tiebreaker did not finish in their favor. The point, though, was enough to pull even with Ridgeline in the table for the four-seed based on head-to-head results.
CHE: Alex Miller 21
UHI: McKinley Ullman 35
GK - CHE: Sydney Reagan 8; UHI: Aubree Carpenter 7
Ferris 0-0 (4-1 SO) Mead
The Panthers registered their sixth shutout in seven outings, but the Saxons - who needed a win and some help to make the postseason - were just as stingy at the other end as neither side really had any quality looks at goal on the night. In the end Ferris took it via tiebreaker in four rounds against Mead, which was in its fourth shootout of the campaign. The point from the result, though, was enough for Mead to finish second among the 3A contingent.
