Elliot Fauske doubled the lead in the 66th. Lurking at the left post, he buried one from close range as the ball from Mike Ramos on the right side found its way through the area to the far post for the finish.

Seven minutes later Mike Ramos received the ball from Sam Engle about 30 yards out and made a quick move to lose a defender. He drove in and put the shot to goalkeeper Jordan Hadden’s left from the top of box.

With his performance, Ramos doubled his tally for the season to two goals and two assists in three games.

Shadow goalkeeper Cody Lang was largely untested on the night, needing to make only one save out of the host’s seven shots. The Shadow finished with 14 shots with Hadden making six saves in WestSound’s loss.

The Spokane Shadow finish the weekend double-header in Tacoma Sunday at 2:00 against South Sound FC at Harry Lang Stadium.
