Holly Miller, Savannah Hoekstra and Kasey Ames also scored for the Bears, who are 11-2 overall and 7-1 in league, with 21 points. Gonzaga Prep (12-2) is also 7-1 in league, but the Bullpups have 18 points and can do no better than tie CV when the regular season ends Friday.

Spokane (7-5, 4-4, 14 points). Alyssa Lloyd’s goal at 45 minutes stood up for the Wildcats until the last 2 minutes.
