WSOC: PUGET SOUND 2, GEORGE FOX 0: No. 1 Loggers Get by Bruins with Late Scores

Box Score 

TACOMA, Wash. - Held scoreless by a feisty George Fox University defense for over two-thirds of the game, the No. 1-ranked University of Puget Sound Loggers finally broke through with two late scores to defeat the visiting Bruins 2-0 in a Northwest Conference women's soccer match Sunday afternoon here on Peyton Field at Baker Stadium.

The Loggers, ranked first in the D3soccer.com national poll and second in the NSCAA/adidas poll, got off 14 shots in the first half compared with just two for the Bruins, but keeper Autumn Van Meter made four saves to keep the Bruins deadlocked in a scoreless tie with the potent Loggers heading into halftime.

The home team continued to pepper the net in the second half with 17 shots, resulting in seven more saves for Van Meter, but finally broke through in the 64th minute when Jenny Moore dribbled past a defender and unleashed a beautiful shot from the top of the box that found its way into the upper right corner.  It was her sixth goal of the season.  Janece Levien made it 2-0 in the 78th minute, gaining control of the ball in the middle of the box and firing in a shot from point-blank range for her NWC-leading 11th goal of the season.

Puget Sound keeper Kallie Wolfer helped the Loggers collect their seventh shutout of the season, making one save on three total George Fox shots.  Van Meter finished up a strong game for the Bruins with 11 total saves on 31 shots by the Loggers.    

Puget Sound pushed its Northwest Conference winning streak to 22 matches with the win.  The victory was also the 199th of head coach Randy Hanson's career.

George Fox (5-5, NWC 2-4) visits Pacific Lutheran University Saturday for a 12:00 noon matchup with the Lutes.  Puget Sound (9-0, NWC 6-0) will go for Hanson's 200th win Saturday when the Loggers travel to McMinnville, Ore., to take on Linfield College, also at 12:00 noon.
