WALLA WALLA - The Moses Lake High School girls soccer team capitalized on the momentum from two overtime victories last weekend to knock off rival Walla Walla Tuesday afternoon.

The Chiefs has never beaten Walla Walla in head coach Ric Char's 7 years at Moses Lake before Tuesday's 2-0 victory.

Moses Lake held a 1-0 halftime lead over the Blue Devils when Colby Happer scored in the 39th minute off of a deflected shot from Magie Munoz.

The Chiefs went up 2-0 in the 65th minute when Munoz scored her third goal of the season for Moses Lake.

Moses Lake goalie Bailey Ritchie had eight saves for the Chiefs.

After the victory Char was proud of his team's performance.

"They came together today," he said. "That was one of the goals of the season. To beat Walla Walla."

Moses Lake enters Thursday night's contest with Ephrata 3-0. Char told his team to focus on their next game.

"I told them to stay humble," he said. "At 3-0 it is easy to lose focus."
