Also scoring in the shootout were Blake Smith, Bas Holland and Noah Schorzman. Cheney out shot the Greyhounds 10-8 during 80 scoreless minutes of regulation and two overtime periods, with goalkeeper Dalton Mauzay making six saves.
Earlier in the week on Thursday, the Blackhawks had a difficult time getting their offense going as well as stopping Central Valley’s. The Greater Spokane League 4A Bears scored in the first minute of the game, opening up a 6-0 halftime lead en route to their 9-0 win over visiting Cheney.

Cheney’s league schedule moves into higher gear this week with games against Clarkston (Tuesday), and at West Valley (Thursday). The Blackhawks wrap up their non-league portion with a road game Saturday at the GSL’s University.
