After a scoreless first half, Loomis (So., Des Moines, Wa.) staked SPU a 1-0 lead when she ripped a 22-yard shot to the upper right corner of the net (57:07). Teague (Sr., Redmond, Wa.) started the play by winning the ball in traffic near the 18-yard line, and dropping it back toward Loomis.

Minutes later (70:22) Teague struck to give the Falcons a 2-0 advantage. With her back to the SU goal, the senior midfielder took a bouncy ball near the 18, and chipped it over several SU defenders and by keeper Ashley Angerer.
