NWAACC soccer: CBC men now 5-0 vs. North

PASCO -- Gavin Richter and Mikey Chavez scored for Columbia Basin and Tanner Craft and Daniel Valencia kept a blanket on Whatcom's top scorer as the Hawks completed a 5-0 run in their regional games against North teams with a 2-1 win.

Coach Kyle Vierck said Craft and Valencia along with goalie Abel Bautista were invaluable in shutting down Nino Tursik, coming off a four-goal game Friday against Treasure Valley.

"We put a really good game together and pressured them really well," Vierck said.

CBC is hoping to add a non-regional game this week or else the Hawks may be idle until opening East Region play Oct. 9 against Walla Walla, which also went 5-0 against the North.
