SPOKANE, Wash. — Jeremy Pynch scored with two minutes left in regulation to give Riverside Christian a 2-1 victory over Northwest Christian on Thursday, clinching a Class 2B-1B state tournament berth for the Crusaders.

The victory also sends Riverside Christian (13-1-1) into today’s 2B-1B regional championship match against St. George’s, a 1-0 winner over Moses Lake Christian on Thursday.

The Crusaders dominated the match, outshooting Northwest Christian 19-6. Michael Stein made three saves in goal for the winners.

    I would like to respectfully point out the incorrect information printed in your article 11/06/09 regarding Riverside Christian’s win over Northwest Christian yesterday in Spokane. I was at the game and
    Derek Byrne was the one who scored our second goal with less than 2 minutes left in the game, not Jeremy Pynch.
    The first goal, was scored by Kyle Gartrell, and not Matt Shuel. Having the correct names in the paper is important to all involved, so thank you in advance for correcting the misinformation in your paper.

    The information in the story is what was reported to us following the match. If there was an error, it was up the chain from us. If a coach would like to call to correct an error, our main sports line is 577-7687.
