Prep roundup: Late goal sinks Moses Lake's comeback bid

MOSES LAKE — Moses Lake was on the wrong end of a frenetic final 20 minutes and lost to Davis 3-2.

“I’m still trying to take it all in because it’s just been the theme of our year,” head coach Rian Allred said. “We’ve had chance after chance after chance... We created a lot of quality chances to score and we just didn’t capitalize.”

Rafael Diaz scored his second goal of the game in the 61st minute, building a 2-0 lead for the Pirates. However, Moses Lake midfielder Erik Vega immediately won a ball from Daniel Sinchuk and streaked up the right sideline for a goal less than a minute later. Later, freshman forward Oscar Olvera rocketed a shot into the top left corner of the net to tie the game with about four minutes to play.

Thinking they were on the cusp of extra time, the Chiefs were stunned when Davis forward Alexis Arellano broke free to score past Eddie Reyes in the 78th minute.

There won’t be much time to regroup as Moses Lake travels to reigning 4A champion Wenatchee on Friday.
