Moses Lake MLHS Chiefs Soccer
MOSES LAKE - Back-to-back losses to the Panthers and Pirates have dropped the Chiefs into third place in the Columbia Basin Big Nine standings with a 4-4 record.
The defeats leave Moses Lake two wins back of first place Eastmont with two games left in the regular season.
The Chiefs were shut out by Davis 2-0 at home Saturday, and were turned back by Wenatchee 3-2 April 23.
Davis 2
Moses Lake 0
The Pirates Luis Valle scored with two minutes left in the first half of action and Japzael Marmolejo added another in the 24th minute of the second half to lead Davis (5-3) to a shutout win over Moses Lake. The Chiefs keeper Grant Bruneel recorded eight saves for the match. The Pirates Estevan Hernandez had three.
Wenatchee 3
Moses Lake 2
Moses Lake was looking to make it three wins in a row after turning back Sunnyside 3-2 April 16, and Eisenhower 2-0 at home April 20.
But it wasn't in the cards as the Chiefs suffered a disappointing 3-2 loss to the Panthers in Wenatchee April 23.
"We just made a couple of defensive miscues and Wenatchee made us pay," coach Bill Bertram said. "We played pretty well overall, but at this stage in the season we can't expect to win against teams in the Big Nine making these types of mistakes."
Moses Lake is back on the pitch tomorrow night at home when the team hosts the Eastmont Wildcats at 7 p.m.
The Chiefs are at Sunnyside May 4 to finish out the regular season. The district playoffs get underway May 7.
