In the second half, the Logger defense, including sophomore Bailey Edwards, was able to shut down Pacific Lutheran and did not allow the Lutes to take a shot.
Throughout the game, senior Annie Jonsson made great runs that led to a team-high five shots. Junior Amalia Acorda-Fey dribbled around Lute players to create opportunities for the Loggers, and she took three shots in the match.
The Lutes were denied any real chances by the Puget Sound defense from the 30th minute onward. The Loggers controlled the ball the majority of the second half, keeping possession on the Pacific Lutheran end of the field. Puget Sound goalkeeper Lauren Thomas recorded the shutout with one save.
