SEASIDE, Calif. (Oct. 11) ­ Top-ranked Seattle Pacific University got a first-half goal from Michelle Sanders and went on to post its sixth straight shutout win, 3-0 over Cal State Monterey Bay in a women¹s non-conference soccer game Monday.

Sarah Martinez (Fr., Bothell, Wa./Cedar Park Christian) and Theresa Morelli (So., Bellevue, Wa./Bellevue, Christian) scored in the second half as the Falcons remained unbeaten (12-0-1).

The six straight shutouts ties an SPU record set last season. Jennifer Hull (Sr., Eugene, Or.) made three saves to earn her seventh shutout of the season.

Sanders (Sr., Centralia, Wa.) opened the scoring in the 24th minute with her 25th career goal. Michelle Everson (Jr., Tacoma, Wa./Stadium) sent ball into the box on the setup.

The Otters (1-11-1) kept it close until Martinez drove home her team-leading seventh goal for a 2-0 lead in the 68th minute after a cross by Tricia Loomis (Fr., Des Moines, Wa./Mt. Rainier) and nodded down by Sarah Melby (Sr., Mukilteo, Wa./Kamiak). It was the fifth goal in the last six games for Martinez.

Morelli finished a pass from Shannon Lovejoy (Jr., Seattle, Wa./Seattle Prep) with 90 seconds left for the final margin.

SPU dominated play, finishing with a 13-4 advantage in shots and 7-1 in corner kicks. The scoreless streak for the defense reached 593 minutes. The school record is 649, set last year. Only two goals have been allowed in the first 13 games.
