They hit Emery with a four-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Luis Ornelas (2), James Dettinger (2), Corbin Henry, and Jesse Chavez.

Meanwhile, Richfield sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 victory over Delta on Wednesday.

Richfield is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-5 record this season. As for Manti, their win bumped their record up to 10-3.

Everything went Manti's way against Richfield in their previous matchup back in March, as Manti made off with an 8-0 victory.
