The Spartans had opened the season Sept. 7 by traveling to Enumclaw and defeating the Hornets 3-2.

Nichole Delaney scored an early goal as the teams played to a 1-1 tie at intermission. The hosts took the lead early in the second half, but the Spartans pulled out the victory with goals by Krista Morford and Kaylie Rozell.
