EUGENE — Grays Harbor College put its best foot forward in women’s soccer and volleyball during this weekend’s Fall Festival in Eugene, Ore.

For the Chokers, they finished the weekend with a 1-1 record in soccer, while the volleyball squad went 3-3 in the preseason friendlines.

In soccer, Cienna Mendez scored twice — once from a penalty shot — and Mary Davis scored as well to lead the Chokers to a 3-0 win over Treasure Valley College on Sunday. On Saturday, Mercedes Cortes tied the match with Blue Mountain, but GHC fell, 3-1 in the opening match of the season.
