Box Score SPOKANE, Washington – The Puget Sound women's soccer team snapped a 12-game unbeaten streak, as the team fell, 1-0, in overtime, to Willamette on Sunday afternoon.
The Loggers (10-2-2, 7-1-2 NWC) outshot the Pirates (6-8, 5-5 NWC), 6-2, in the first half. However, despite forcing Whitworth goalkeeper Sienna Tanner into two saves, the two teams entered halftime tied, 0-0.
The second period was similar to the first half, with Puget Sound recording three shots on goal, and taking nine shots overall. Yet both defenses held firm, and neither team was able to break through.
In extra time, the home team began to take control of the game, tallying two shots on goal in the first minute of the first overtime period. In the 95th minute, after Puget Sound was called for a foul, Kathryn Bischoff took a free kick. Her set piece from 10 yards outside the box beat Logger keeper Lauren Thomas, and gave the NWC victory to the Pirates.
The Loggers outshot the Pirates, 15-10, and also took more corner kicks (8-7). Goalkeeper Lauren Thomas (10-2-2) played all 95 minutes, making four saves. Erin Brosnan led the Loggers with four shots.
The loss was the first for the Loggers in Northwest Conference play since a 3-1 loss to Pacific Lutheran in 2014 (Oct. 29), a stretch of 28 league games.
Puget Sound's next match will be Saturday, October 22, when the team hosts George Fox. The match is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. and will serve as the Loggers' homecoming match.
