SPU Women Blank Previously Unbeaten Argonauts
September 16, 2002

SEATTLE (Sept. 16) - Posting its first shutout of the season, Seattle Pacific University got goals from substitutes Michelle Sanders and Allison Teague for a 2-0 win over previously unbeaten Notre Dame de Namur (Ca.) in a nonconference women's soccer game Monday at Interbay Stadium.

The Falcons (2-3-1) won their second game in a row at home and are now 7-2 at Interbay in the program's brief two-year existence.

Sanders (So., Centralia, Wa.) opened the scoring in the 26th minute.

Less than five minutes after entering the match, she cracked a first-time 18-yard shot into the roof of the net following a backpass from Megan Lienhard (Fr., Everett, Wa./Cascade). Katy Nydam (Fr., Oak Harbor, Wa.) was also credited with an assist.

Lienhard also set-up the second score, serving a long left-wing cross through the goalmouth which Teague (Fr., Redmond, Wa./Bellevue Christian) finished at point-blank range at the far post.

It was the first goal of the season for both Sanders and Teague. Lienhard now has three assists.

Seattle Pacific dominated play, finishing with a 13-3 advantage in shots. Goalkeepers Jennifer Hull (So., Eugene, Or.), the starter, and Erin Pierce (Fr., Milwaukie, Or.) combined to make three easy saves. The Argonauts, ranked 20th among NAIA teams, fell to 4-1-1.

SPU continues its three-game home stand Saturday when it hosts Northwest Nazarene in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference game at 7.
