Andersen's Goal Lifts Loggers Past Whitman

TACOMA, Wash. – The Puget Sound women's soccer team won its sixth consecutive contest on Saturday with a 1-0 win over Whitman. Kelly Andersen scored the lone goal in the match to boost the Loggers (11-1-1, 8-1) to victory.

Andersen's goal came in the opening minute of the second half after the teams battled through a scoreless first. A Logger shot was turned away by Whitman's keeper, Lauren Brougham. The save bounced directly to Andersen who pushed in for a 1-0 Logger lead.

Brougham made four saves to keep the match close but the Missionaries (5-8, 3-7) couldn't find the equalizer. The Loggers outshot the Missionaries 14-5 in the match, including a 5-2 advantage in shots on goal.

Casey Thayer made a save in the first half and Jess Yarbrough made a save in the second to combine for the shutout.

The Loggers will meet Whitworth tomorrow on East Field at noon in a matchup of the top two teams in the NWC.
