McMINNVILLE, Ore. - The freshman connection of Abby Goss
(Spokane, Wash./University) to Catherine Means (Seattle,
Wash./Garfield) was all it took for the sixth-ranked Puget Sound
Loggers to defeat the Linfield Wildcats, 1-0, in a Northwest
Conference women's soccer match on Sunday afternoon in McMinnville,
Ore.
The Loggers scored the only goal of the game in the 33rd minute
when Goss fed Means near the top of the box and Means calmly placed
an accurate shot in the upper-right corner of the goal.
The Loggers continued to pressure the 'Cats, outshooting them
18-5 on the day, but Linfield's Kelsey Hasselblad made five saves
on the day and the Wildcat offense accounted for two more. With the
win, the Loggers finished the road portion of their schedule with a
record of 9-0-0, including 8-0-0 in NWC matches.
The Loggers, who have already clinched a spot in the NCAA DIII
Championship Tournament by winning a seventh-straight NWC title,
return home on Friday for the first of two home matches to end the
2008 season when they play host to Lewis & Clark. Gametime with
the Pios is set for 11:00 a.m.
