September 18, 2003

BELLINGHAM, Wa. (Sept. 18)—Despite a 16-6 shot advantage over a marathon 120 minutes of play, Seattle Pacific University tied Great Northwest Athletic Conference foe Western Washington 0-0 OT, in a women’s soccer match Thursday night at Civic Stadium. The Falcons are now 6-1-1 overall, 2-0-1 GNAC.

The match marked the third time in five meetings the two rivals have gone to overtime to decide a women’s soccer match and the first time the Vikings did not lose to SPU.

Viking keeper Teresa Fish registered six saves in the match and SPU’s Jennifer Hull (Jr., Eugene, Or./Sheldon) tallied a pair.

The Falcons earned a half-dozen corner kicks to the Vikings’ one. Michelle Everson (So., Tacoma, Wa./Stadium), Megan Lienhard (So., Everett, Wa./Cascade) and Shannon Lovejoy (So., Seattle, Wa./Seattle Prep.) each took three shots.

SPU travels to California for its next two contests. Thursday’s kickoff against GNAC foe Humboldt State is scheduled for 4PM and Saturday’s match-up with the California Collegiate Athletic Conference’s Chico State begins at 7PM.

Seattle Pacific returns home where it has won nine consecutive matches to meet with Central Washington in a GNAC match October 1.
