SPU Women Win 2nd Straight GNAC Game, 3-2
September 15, 2001

ARCATA, Calif. (Sept. 15) -- Michelle Sanders set-up two goals on corner kicks and Alissa Peterson scored on a brilliant individual effort as Seattle Pacific University won its second straight women's soccer game, 3-2 at Humboldt State Saturday.

The Falcons also got goals from defenders Erin Roberts (Jr., Issaquah, Wa./Issaquah) and Karen France (Fr., Woodland Park, Co./Palmer) in raising their record to 2-1 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and 3-2-1 overall.

After falling behind, SPU score three unanswered goals, including two within a 6-minute span early in the second half. Sanders (Fr., Centralia, Wa.), who has four assists in the last three games, found Roberts for a 6-yard shot inside the near post to draw SPU even at 1-1. France smashed home what proved to be the game-winner in the 57th minute after BreeAnn Milligan (Fr., Idaho Falls, Id./Skyline) flicked on the corner by Sanders.

Seattle Pacific had taken the lead for good in the 52nd minute. Peterson (So., Plymouth, Mn./Wayzata) scored her first goal of the season on a 25-yard blast following a 40-yard in which she beat two defenders on the dribble.

Humboldt State (1-3-0/1-7-0) got a goal and assist from Jenna Hunter.

The Lumberjacks had opened the scoring in the 7th minute on a goal by Emily Kintscher.
