Yakima Valley scored within the first five minutes with a goal by forward Sessi Allot. Corynn Vigil tacked on two more goals, and the Cards found themselves in a 3-0 deficit at halftime.

NIC bounced back and managed to keep pressure on Yakima Valley in the second period, but too many times they came up just short. The Cards took seven shots in the period compared to just 3 in the first, but only came up with one goal from Maya Lewis.

NIC (3-2-2) will travel to Oregon to play Blue Mountain (1-3) on Sept. 20 and Treasure Valley (2-3-1) before returning home to play Walla Walla (7-0) on Wednesday Sept. 25 at 2 p.m.
