Spokane Shadow 3, PacNW 1
(Recap courtesy of the Spokane Shadow): After opening the season with three draws and a loss, the Spokane Shadow Men’s First Team picked up their first win Sunday evening at the Spokane Polo Grounds with a two-goal performance from Chase Reidt as they downed PacNW 3-1.
The visitors claimed the initial lead in the contest 17 minutes into the match when a corner kick led to a second-chance opportunity that Carlos Moate put away from about 16 yards out.
Later in the half club product Chase Reidt came up big with a pair of goals to put Spokane up 2-1 at the break.
Dominic Gusman played a ball in from the left flank in the 38th minute, finding Reidt in stride as he was streaking up the middle between a pair of defenders. Reidt would put the brakes on with a small cut and fire past starting keeper Charlie Lanphier to level the contest.
Two minutes later a turnover deep in the offensive end allowed Reidt to put the Shadow in front with an effort from about 20 yards out, giving him three goals on the season.
After a lengthy halftime break due to nearby lightning the Shadow had several chances to expand the lead, but were just off the mark. PacNW nearly evened things up with five minutes left when a free kick from the left touchline was narrowly headed over the crossbar.
Club alum Braydon Tucker, however, locked up the result in the 89th when a ball forward from Eli Armstrong put him in on the keeper. Tucker deftly lifted the ball up over second half insert and Jadon Bowton, a Spokane Sounders product playing at the University of Washington, to secure the result.
Goalkeeper Andrew Wolotira picked up the victory in his debut for Spokane as they moved to 1-1-3, keeping them squarely in the hunt for the postseason in the I90 Conference of EPLWA. PacNW is 2-2-1. The Shadow are at home again next week, hosting another youth club rival Washington Premier Saturday, June 11 at 5:00 at the Polo Grounds while PacNW takes the pitch Wednesday on the road against Oly Town at 7:00.

17′ – PacNW goal – Carlos Moate
