SEATTLE, Wa. (Oct. 1)—Shannon Lovejoy headed in a pair of second half corner kicks to push Seattle Pacific University past Central Washington 4-0 in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference women’s soccer match Wednesday night at Interbay Stadium.

With the victory, the Falcons improve to 8-1-2 (4-0-1 GNAC). Seattle Pacific has not lost in its last eight games and has won 11 straight at Interbay.

A sophomore midfielder, Lovejoy (Seattle, Wa./Seattle Prep.) scored her team leading sixth and seventh goals of the year off a pair of late corner kicks. The first was a Jessica Henson (Jr., Spokane, Wa./University) serve from the right corner (71:53).

Lovejoy’s second strike came via the left corner from the foot of fellow midfielder Megan Lienhard (So., Everett, Wa./Cascade). Lovejoy headed the ball in traffic from 12-yards out past Central keeper Jillyan Boyer into the net on the left side (78:19).

Heidi Jacobson (So., Bothell, Wa./Cedar Park Christian/Gonzaga) opened up scoring in the match with her fourth goal of the season at 18:23 with a 14 yard strike. Theresa Morelli (Fr., Bellevue, Wa./Bellevue Christian) hit net at 67:44 off a rebounded Lovejoy miss.

The Falcons out shot Central 16-4 and held a 5-0 advantage on corner kicks. Boyer registered seven saves in the match and SPU’s Jennifer Hull (Jr., Eugene, Or./Sheldon) earned a pair en route to her eighth shutout.

Seattle Pacific enjoys a rare week off until it hosts the GNAC’s Western Washington next Thursday (Oct. 9). Kickoff is scheduled for 7 o’clock.
