WHITTIER, Calif. --- George Fox University's women's soccer team traveled to Whittier College Friday afternoon, as the Bruins went into extra time with the Poets.

In the first period, Morgan Hansen took to the net for the Bruins and saw 10 shots with only one of them being on goal. Kenna Meinhart recorded the only two shots for the Bruins as both shots just sailed wide of the net.

After a 0-0 score at half, the Bruins opened up the second period with a strong showing and several great opportunities. Meinhart, who was the strong offensive threat in the first, breached the Poets defense and netted the first goal of the game in the 59^th minute. The Meinhart goal marks the first goal of the year for the Bruins.

The Poets wouldn't go down without a fight after drawing a corner kick in the 78^th minute. Whittier then made the equalizer tying the game up after Leah Kolek snuck one by Hansen.

After the end of regulation both teams were tied at 1-1. The Poets managed to record 21 shots, but only five of them were on goal. Meanwhile, the Bruins took a more accurate approach firing off six shots with two on goal.

In both extra periods neither team could produce any real offensive threat, as the physical play started to slow things down.

The Bruins recorded 21 fouls on the day, while the Poets had 14.

Meinhart finished the game leading the Bruins with four shots and one goal. Hansen recorded seven saves on the day.

George Fox will continue its California road trip with a game against Redlands College on Sunday, September 14 at 7 p.m.
