TACOMA, Wash. - After dropping their first match of the season
in double-overtime last Sunday, the fifth-ranked Puget Sound
Loggers bounced back in a big way, routing the Lewis & Clark
Pioneers, 5-0, in a Northwest Conference women's soccer match on
Saturday afternoon in Tacoma, Wash.
The Loggers, ranked fifth in the latest D3soccer.com Top 25, got
on the board in the 24th minute when Theresa Henle (Issaquah,
Wash.) fed the ball into all-american forward Janece Levien
(Beaverton, Ore.) who finished from point-blank range for the early
1-0 advantage.
Just a few minutes after halftime, the Loggers made it 2-0 when
Mikaela Freeman (Alameda, Calif./Bishop O'Dowd) unleashed a
beautiful corner kick that bended right into the far upper corner
of the net. In the 55th minute, Levien struck against as she
was able to put a head on a Freeman corner kick for the 3-0 lead.
Puget Sound scored their fourth goal of the afternoon in the
61st minute when Henle fed the ball from inside the box to the top
and Kelly Andersen (Centennial, Colo./Littleton) was there to fired
off a shot from about 19 yards out. The Loggers' scoring came
to a close in the 71st minute when Christine Isabella (Salt Lake
City, Utah/Winthrop) shook a defender and shot from 15 yards out.
Kallie Wolfer (Salt Lake City, Utah/Skyline) collected the
victory, not facing a shot on goal in 64:40 on play.

on 26 total Puget Sound shots. The Loggers held a 9-0
advantage on corner kicks as they dominated play for the entire 90
minutes.
