As for the boys, Fallon slipped past Spring Creek, 2-1, shutout Battle Mountain, 2-0, and were thumped by Jerome, 9-0.

Fidel Enriquez scored a goal and had an assist against Spring Creek, while Keven Rutledge tallied the second score. Corbin Waite and Enriquez each recorded goals for the Wave against Battle Mountain.
