NAMPA, Id.--Megan Lienhard scored three of the Falcons' school record nine goals in a 9-0 rout of Northwest Nazarene University in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference women's soccer match Saturday afternoon at Finkbeiner Memorial Field.

The Falcons (10-4-2, 6-3-0) are unbeaten in their last eight matches and handed Northwest Nazarene its 13th loss in a row. SPU owns at least a share of second place in the GNAC with three games left to play. The nine goals is a school record. The previous mark of seven was set on October 8, against Carroll College.

Lienhard (Fr., Everett, Wa./Cascade) scored the first two goals of a record six-goal first half. Michelle Sanders (So., Centralia, Wa.), who hit the net to make it 3-0, had three assists including one on Lienhard's first goal. Jessica Henson (So., Spokane, Wa./University), Shannon Lovejoy (Fr., Seattle, Wa./Seattle Prep.) and LeRin Farrison (Sr., Seattle, Wa./Mountain View/Highline CC) rounded out the scoring in the first half. Lovejoy, who also had a pair of assists in the match, and Farrison made goals just 29 seconds apart.

Briana Murphy (Fr., Ferndale, Wa.) opened up the scoring in the second half at 63:15, followed by Lienhard's third counter a minute and a half later (64:39). Laura Walker (So., Colorado Springs, Co./Palmer) capped the Falcons' final goal at 71:28.

Seattle Pacific out shot the Crusaders 27-3 and registered 13 corner kicks to Northwest Nazarene's 0. SPU's Jennifer Hull (So., Eugene, Or./Sheldon) and Erin Pierce (Fr., Milwaukie, Or./Rex Putnam) combined in goal for the shutout.

The Falcons face Western Washington on October 30. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 o'clock and Farrison will be honored in a short, "senior-night" ceremony at the match. The midfielder is Seattle Pacific's sole senior.
