7th-Ranked Falcon Women Win 5-0 in Pomona
September 7, 2005

POMONA, Ca. (Sept. 7)—Heidi Jacobson scored her fourth goal in as many games as 7th-ranked Seattle Pacific University used five goals in the second half of play to defeat Cal Poly Pomona 5-0 in a non-conference women’s soccer match Wednesday night in Pomona.

With the victory, Seattle Pacific boosted its regular season unbeaten streak to 41 consecutive games. The Falcons have been to the NCAA Division II tournament each of the last two years and four games into 2005, have out-scored opponents 19-1.

All five goals hit during the second half of match play, three coming within a four minute span. Samantha Hufford (Jr., Sammamish, Wa.) got SPU on the scoreboard at 49:59, beating Pomona keeper Vanessa Richardson on a 20-yard free kick. Just two minutes later Jessica Gerstmann (So., Puyallup, Wa.) knocked in a Shannon Lovejoy (Sr., Seattle, Wa.) pass (52:06) and Sarah Martinez (So., Bothell, Wa.) followed suit at 53:11 with an unassisted strike.

Jacobson (Sr., Kirkland, Wa.) popped the ball into the back of the Pomona net with assistance from Shannon Oakes (Fr., Boise, Id.) in the 69th minute to give Seattle Pacific a 4-0 advantage. The senior has scored in each match of the ‘05 season.

Kara Hamby (So., Spokane, Wa.) rounded out scoring in the match late (89:28).

Seattle Pacific out shot Cal Poly Pomona 18-7, and earned four corner kicks to the Broncos’ 1. Keeper Jen Burns (Fr., Boise Id.) earned the shutout in goal, saving three balls. Pomona’s Richardson saved eight.
