Christian Riley's first half assist and second half goal led Northwest to a 2-0 win Thursday over host Clay.

"He played well and just played harder than normal," Mohawks coach Josh Keeney said of Riley. "He acted like he wanted it."

Riley set up German import Linus Schnack eight minutes into the contest for the first goal. In the second half, Riley took a pass from Till Mahl and deposited it behind Panther keeper Chase Hiles for the final tally of the night.

The scoring was beneficial to Chambers McClay, who stopped nine shots for the shutout win.

"Well-played game by our defense," Keeney said. "Give them credit tonight."

Northwest returns home Tuesday to host Waverly. Hiles also recorded nine saves for Clay.
