SEATTLE, Wa. (Nov. 2)-Shannon Lovejoy, LeRin
Farrison and Michelle Sanders each scored goals as Seattle Pacific
University remained unbeaten in its last 10 matches and notched
its eight straight win, drubbing Central Washington 3-0, in a
Great Northwest Athletic Conference women's soccer match Saturday
afternoon at Interbay Stadium.
With one game left to play during regular
season, the Falcons are in first place in the GNAC. Seattle
Pacific can seal up its first ever women's soccer conference
championship with a win at Seattle University on Tuesday (Nov. 5).
Michelle Everson's (Fr., Tacoma, Wa./Curtis)
free kick from 18-yards out on the right side found the head of
Lovejoy (Fr., Seattle, Wa./Seattle Prep.) at 30:43. The freshman
forward channeled the six-yard header across the goalmouth and
past Central Washington goalie Emily Barber to the far right post
to open up scoring for Seattle Pacific.
The Falcons held a 1-0 advantage for much of
the second half and senior LeRin Farrison (Seattle, Wa./Mountain
View/Highline CC) netted the second goal of the match at 81:59, on
an unassisted breakaway one-on-one with Barber. Sanders (So.,
Centralia, Wa.) nailed the insurance goal at 86:43 from 10 yards
out off a cross from Katie Lim (So., Hillsboro, Or.). The score
was Sanders' team leading 11th goal of the year.
The Falcons out shot Central 21-6 and were
granted five corner kicks to the Wildcats' 1. Barber registered
eight saves while Erin Pierce (Fr., Milwaukie, Or./Rex Putnam) and
Jennifer Hull (So., Eugene, Or./Sheldon) combined for five saves
for SPU.
Seattle Pacific faces Seattle University on
Tuesday afternoon in a match in which the GNAC title may be
decided. The Falcons lead Seattle University by a half-game in the
standings. The Redhawks won at Interbay 2-1, on September 25.
Kickoff for Tuesday's match is scheduled for 2 o'clock at
