In girls action, Lila Pettit converted a penalty kick and Kaylee Gallego scored from about 30 yards out in the Moose win. Cole Miller netted both goals in the Palmer boys victory.

Valley rivals Colony and Wasilla also met Tuesday in their final matches against each other in the regular season. The Colony boys earned a 5-0 win over the Warriors. Owen Dietz led Colony with a pair of goals. Johnny Higgins, Isaac Villa and Nick Bailey also scored.
