SEATTLE (Aug. 30) ­ Shannon Oakes struck for the game's only goal in the 65th minute as 10th-ranked Seattle Pacific University remained perfect in the young season with a 1-0 win over Sonoma State in a women's soccer game at Interbay Stadium Thursday night.

Jesslyn Rham (So., Eugene, Or.) made four saves to earn the shutout for the Falcons (3-0-0), who are unbeaten (13-0-2) in their last 15 non-conference home games.

Oakes (Jr., Boise, Id.) fired five of the seven SPU second-half shots at the Seawolf net, and she pierced the defense midway through the period. A deep throw-in by Amanda Johnson (Fr., Duvall, Wa./Cedarcrest) was flicked on by Sarah Martinez (Sr., Bothell, Wa./Cedar Park Christian).

Oakes crack a left-footed drive from 10 yards to beat Sonoma keeper Courtney Grixti low to the right post.

Seattle Pacific had just missed going in front in the first half. Karen Hosler (Fr., Portland, Or.) came off the bench to chip over Grixti, but her shot caromed off the crossbar.

The best scoring opportunity for the Seawolves (1-2-0) came on a 28-yard free kick by Lindsay Catton moments before the Oakes goal. Rahm caught the drive cleanly on the goal line.
