October 21, 2006

Complete Box Score

SEATTLE, Wa. (Oct. 21)—Janae Godoy fielded a cross from deep on the left side, and slotted it to the right post in the final minute of regulation to lift Seattle Pacific University over Western Oregon 1-0, in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference women’s soccer match Saturday afternoon at Interbay Stadium.

Godoy’s (Fr., Yakima, Wa./West Valley) game-winner came when Tricia Loomis (Jr., Des Moines, Wa./Mount Rainier) sprung Jessica Gerstmann (Jr., Puyallup, Wa./Cascade Christian-Wash. State) free down the left side-line. Gerstmann made a move on a Western Oregon defender and carried the ball 40 yards to the corner.

Gerstmann’s cross found Godoy on the far right. Godoy beat Wolves keeper Aly Meyer from six yards for her second goal of the season (89:14).

The goal came on the heels of a 20-3 shot advantage on the side of Seattle Pacific. Alex Kirk (Fr., Edmonds, Wa./Edmonds-Woodway) and Kara Hamby (Jr., Spokane, Wa./Mead) each caromed shots off the crossbar in the first half.

Western Oregon’s best chance came with six minutes remaining when Sarah Skotte put an attempt from 10 yards just to the right of the framework.

Falcon keeper Katie Ruggles (Sr., Eugene, Or./South Eugene) tallied a solitary save in the match; Meyer finished with a half-dozen. Seattle Pacific earned six corner kicks to the Wolves’ one.

Seattle Pacific (15-3-0/6-2-0) has two regular season games remaining before NCAA Far West Region playoff seedings are announced Oct. 29.
