ELLENSBURG (Oct. 15)- Seattle Pacific University dropped its second game in a row as Cicely Tyler's first half goal gave Central Washington its first conference victory over SPU 1-0, in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference women's soccer match in Ellensburg, Monday afternoon.

The Falcons (5-3, 6-8-1) went into the match shaky after dropping a 0-1 contest to cross town rival Seattle University last week, and the loss to the Wildcats may cost SPU at least a share of first place in the GNAC.

Just over 13-minutes into a very physical game, Tyler headed in an Elizabeth Medford corner kick for the only score of the afternoon (13:35).

The Falcons out shot Central 17-15, but could not equalize.

Keeper Jennifer Hull (Fr., Eugene, Or./Sheldon) saved seven shots in goal for SPU.

Seattle Pacific kicks off a three game home stand with a match against Humboldt State next Monday night (Oct. 22) at Interbay. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00. There are just four regular season GNAC games remaining.

Scoring:
1, CWU Tyler (Medford) 13:35.

Shots: CWU 15, SPU 17.

Saves: CWU (Barber) 7; SPU (Hull 7).

Corner Kicks: CWU 6, SPU 3.

Fouls: CWU 24, SPU 12.
