Box Score

TACOMA, Wash. – For the second year in a row, George Fox University's Jenny McKinsey victimized her former team by scoring the only goal of the game as the visiting Bruins edged the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes 1-0 in a Northwest Conference women's soccer match Saturday afternoon here at the PLU soccer field.

As a freshman in 2006, McKinsey led PLU in scoring with eight goals, but transferred to George Fox prior to the 2007 season.  Last season, she scored the only goal in the Bruins'1-0 over the Lutes in Tacoma, but did not take as long this year, scoring at 27:17 to give the Bruins the only goal they needed.  McKinsey took a pass from Kirsten Cardwell, slipped between a pair of defenders and slotted the ball to the lower left corner, just beyond the fingertips of diving PLU goalkeeper Kamryn Morgan.

The Bruins controlled the game in the opening half, out-shooting the Lutes 6-3 and taking four corner kicks to none for PLU. The second period was a different story as the fiesty Lutes took advantage of a strong wind at their back to keep the pressure on the Bruins. The Lutes had nine shots in the second half to just three for the Bruins, though the corner kicks were equal at three apiece. The Lutes, however, were not able to really trouble George Fox keeper Sally Page, who finished with three saves to earn her fifth shutout of the season  Morgan had three saves in the PLU goal.

Both teams have Northwest Conference home games Sunday at 12:00 noon, George Fox (6-2, NWC 2-2) hosting Linfield College and Pacific Lutheran (1-5-2, NWC 0-4-1) hosting Willamette University.  Each game will be followed by men's games at 2:30 p.m.
