SEATTLE (Oct. 21) ­ Scoring just 82 seconds into the game, Megan Lienhard gave No. 1-ranked and undefeated Seattle Pacific University its ninth straight victory, 1-0 over Humboldt State in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference women's soccer game Thursday afternoon.

Jennifer Hull (Sr., Eugene, Or.) posted her ninth shutout and the team's eighth during the win streak, easily saving three shots by the Lumberjacks (3-5-0, 8-6-1).

Jean Kolb (Jr., Eugene, Or.) initiated the scoring play, serving an out-swinging cross from the flank which Lienhard (Jr., Everett, Wa./Cascade) volleyed into the net at 1:22, making it the earliest goal in the program's four-year history. It was Lienhard's third goal of the season and her first game-winner. Kolb has three assists.

The Falcons (7-0-1, 15-0-1) are now unbeaten (30-0-3) in their last 33 regular season games and 28 GNAC contests.

Allie Teague (Jr., Redmond, Wa./Bellevue Christian) nearly gave SPU some added insurance when her drive hit the crossbar. Both Lienhard and Shannon Lovejoy (Jr., Seattle, Wa./Seattle Prep) sent close-range shots over the bar late in the game.

Seattle Pacific, which leads NCAA Division II in scoring defense, has allowed only four goals in 16 games. It has played five straight on the road and visits Western Oregon next Thursday before playing the final three at home.
