TACOMA, Wash. - Playing in front of her family on Parents Day,
freshman Mikaela Freeman (Alameda, Calif/Bishop O'Dowd) collected a
hat trick as the fourth-ranked Puget Sound Loggers ran past the
Linfield Wildcats, 5-0, in a Northwest Conference women's soccer
match on Saturday afternoon on Peyton Field at Baker Stadium in
Tacoma, Wash.
The Loggers got on the board in the fifth minute when Janece
Levien (Beaverton, Ore.) took a feed from Abby Goss (Spokane,
Wash./University) and Levien fired in a shot from the top of the
box. In the 14th minute, Freeman scored her first of the
afternoon after Levien fed her on the right post and Freeman used
her left foot to knock the ball in. In the 19th minute,
Freeman gave the Loggers a 3-0 lead when she took a feed from about
35 yards out from Fiona Gornick (Portland, Ore./Grant) and Freeman
finished on the right post.
In the second half, Freeman finished up the hat trick after
Levien fed from the right and Freeman finished on the left.
Puget Sound made it 5-0 at the 56 minute mark when Kayla Boortz
(Greenwood Village, Colo./Regis Jesuit) took the rebound following
a scrum in front of the goal and Boortz scored her first goal of
the season.
Kallie Wolfer (Salt Lake City, Utah/Skyline) had a relatively
easy day, seeing just two shots and not having to make any
saves. Kelsey Hasselblad made nine saves for the Wildcats,
allowing the five goals as the Loggers launched 25 total shots on
the game.
Puget Sound returns to action on Sunday afternoon when they play
host to Pacific, beginning at Noon on Peyton Field at Baker Stadium
in Tacoma, Wash.
