HANFORD 3, WALLA WALLA 2 (SO): Dani Mendoza scored both of the Falcons’ regulation goals and the Blue Devils’ Lorena Ramirez netted two as well, but it was Hanford (6-3, 5-2) that won in a shootout, 5-4, to get the road MCC win.
Fany Cossio, Hanford’s sixth shooter, scored the game-wining PK, and Payton Thompson, Ellie Harlow and Avery Campbell converted their chances as well. For Wa-Hi (5-4, 3-4), Ramirez, Madison Darnold, Reese Fewell and Emoree Lash scored in the shootout.
RICHLAND 6, KENNEWICK 1: Kyah Weikum scored a natural hat trick to round out the scoring for the host Bombers (9-1, 7-1) in MCC action.
Josie Corbin scored first for Richland and also collected an assist. Ashley Thonthat and Sophie Mendoza scored the other two Bombers’ goals, and Andrea Martell netted one for the Lions (1-6, 1-6).
Hannah Hagler played the first half in goal for Richland and made five saves to keep Kennewick off the board.
CHIAWANA 6, SOUTHRIDGE 1: Summer Yates scored a hat trick and had an assist, Macey Morales had two goals and two assists, and the host Riverhawks (6-3, 5-3) rolled past the Suns (2-7, 2-6) in an MCC match.
Hannah Haertling also scored for Chiawana and Kylee Alvarez dished out two assists. Mikenna Rasmussen put one in the back of the net for Southridge.
