CHICO, Ca. (Sept. 4)—Janae Godoy scored off a crossbar rebound in the middle of the second half to lift 10th-ranked Seattle Pacific University over No. 19 Chico State 1-0, in a non-conference women’s soccer match Tuesday night in Chico.

The victory pushed the Falcons to a perfect 4-0 on the season. Chico State dropped to 3-1.

Godoy (So., Yakima, Wa./West Valley) was the beneficiary of a Shannon Oakes (Jr., Boise, Id.) shot that caromed off the Wildcat crossbar in the 60th minute.

Sarah Martinez (Sr., Bothell, Wa./Cedar Park Christian) began the play near midfield when she drew two Wildcat defenders and laid the ball off to Oakes.

Oakes progressed toward the attacking third and ripped a 30-yard blank off the top of the Chico crossbar. Godoy wisely followed Oakes’ attempt and scored easily from the penalty box.

Seattle Pacific held a 15-7 advantage in shots over the course of the match with Godoy taking two. Chico State keeper Kari Gonzales registered five saves.

The Falcons return to Seattle to kick-off a three game home stand beginning Saturday, with a matinee against Notre Dame de Namur. Start time is 1PM. Seattle Pacific begins Great Northwest Athletic Conference play Sept. 12th.
