Sophia Schnepf led offense, scoring both of the Cardinal’s goals within minutes of each other. 

Kaysha Bailey racked up a whopping seven saves in the match, and increased her save percentage to .878, good for fifth place among NWAC goalies.

With only six games left in the season, the Cards find themselves two places out of the final playoff spot. NIC, Yakima Valley, Spokane and Columbia Basin find themselves in close standing with each other for the second and third playoff spots behind Walla Walla, and will likely be battling for positions until the last game of the season.

Up next for the Cards (4-3-1, 6-4-3) is a home match against Blue Mountain (0-7-1, 1-8-1) Saturday Oct. 12 at noon. The Cardinals blew out Blue Mountain 7-0 last month.
