MCMINNVILLE, Oregon – Jacquelyn Anderson and Annie Prickett each tallied a goal, as the Puget Sound women's soccer team defeated Linfield, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon.

She picked out Anderson with her cross, and the junior hammered home her fourth goal of the year.

Puget Sound did not take long in the second half to increase its lead. In the 49th minute, Grayson Williams-Krebs had a shot saved. Prickett collected the rebound, and fired the ball into the back of the net.

Linfield (2-6-2, 2-2-2 NWC) got one goal back in the 79th minute on a Jamie Mars tally. However, the Loggers' defense held firm, and earned the conference victory.
