McMINNVILLE, Ore. - The architect of one of the most successful
women's soccer programs in the Pacific Northwest, Puget Sound
Logger head coach Randy Hanson collected his 200th career victory
on Saturday afternoon as his second-ranked Puget Sound Loggers
defeated the Linfield Wildcats, 3-0, in a Northwest Conference
women's soccer match in McMinnville, Ore.
The Loggers took the lead just 2:14 into the game as Theresa
Henle (Issaquah, Wash.) scored her second goal of the season off an
assist from Kelly Andersen (Centennial, Colo./Littleton) to give
Puget Sound the early 1-0 lead. Before the Wildcats even had
a chance to get even, the Loggers made it 2-0 at the 4:35 mark when
Janece Levien (Beaverton, Ore.) fed in a pass to Jenny Moore (Kent,
Wash./Kentwood) who put the ball past Linfield keeper Kelsey
Hasselblad.
Puget Sound made it 3-0 shortly before halftime as Maddy Fisk
(Corvallis, Ore.) was assisted by Christine Isabella (Salt Lake
City, Utah/Winthrop) for her fifth goal of the season. Puget
Sound outshot the host Wildcats, 14-0, in the first half as they
built the large lead.
In the second half, the Loggers continued to put offensive
pressure on the 'Cats, unleashing 12 shots and forcing Hasselblad
to make eight second-half saves. Logger keeper Kallie Wolfer
(Salt Lake City, Utah/Skyline) made four saves on five Linfield
shots in the final 45 minutes to collect the shutout.
Puget Sound will look to stay perfect in NWC play on Sunday
afternoon when they travel to Forest Grove, Ore. to take on
Pacific, beginning at Noon at Lincoln Park Stadium.
