Jay Recchia scored 4 minutes apart in the first half, and the goals held up in Deer Park’s 2-1 win at Chewelah in the Great Northern League.

Recchia’s first goal came after a throw-in by Lucas Langben. Recchia’s second goal, from 13 yards out, was assisted by Spencer Nedved’s free kick.

Also in the GNL, Micah Throop’s penalty kick midway through the second half rallied Colville to a 3-2 win at Medical Lake (0-2).

The penalty kick was set up when ML was whistled for a push in the goal box on a corner kick. The Cardinals’ Marshall Wilson scored twice.
