Last Three Games

Saturday (3/26) we traveled to Sunnyside to take on the Grizzlies. Jake Zoulek scored the first two goals of the game and the only two of the first half. Both goals were set up by Jarad Brisbin as he tallied his first two assists of the season. Brisbin got his own two goals in the second half both off corner kicks from Javi Gamez. Chandler Mertens wrapped up the scoring off a Bill Landefeld assist. Brandond Hale made some important saves and was in line for another shutout before the referee decided to award Sunnyside a penalty kick which they converted. Final score was 5-1.

On Tuesday (3/29) we played Richland at home and it was a chippy game as both teams were fighting hard for the win. After a 0-3 start Richland had plenty of momentum going with consectuve wins against Hanford and Kamiakin. It was the Brisbin Zoulek show again as both players scored first half goals. Jarad scored another one from a Javi Gamez corner and Jake took a cross down with his chest and volleyed home a sweet strike. The cross was whipped in by Zack Russell and it was his first assist of the season. That would be all the scoring the game had as Brandon Hale got his second shutout of the season.
Final score was 2-0

Saturday April 3rd saw our first road trip to Moses Lake in six years and the players learned that this is a tough place to get a result. The boys looked a bit lethargic to start the first half and it took us too long to get in the game. The longer it took us to assert ourselves the better it was for Moses Lake and they ended up taking advantage of our slow start and staked themselves to a 2-0 lead. John Zoulek pulled a goal back with his third of the year and we assaulted the goal in the second half but could never find the equaliser. This was our second loss of the year and puts us in a tough position where we pretty much have to win the rest of our games and get help from other teams if we want a shot at playing for the district title.
Final score was a 2-1 loss.
