Box Score TACOMA, Washington – Despite outshooting its opponent, 18-10, the Puget Sound women's soccer team finished in a scoreless draw with Pacific on Sunday afternoon on East Field.
The Loggers (11-2-3, 8-1-3 NWC) eased into the match, before gaining energy about 15 minutes into the game. The home team went on to outshoot Pacific (6-7-3, 4-6-2 NWC) 11-2 in the first half, including a 4-1 edge in shots on goals. However, the two teams entered halftime scoreless.
The second half was more even, with the Loggers pressing, and the Boxers running a counterattack fairly effectively. Yet the backline and goalkeeper of each team were able to keep the other side off the scoreboard, and after 90 minutes, the match moved into overtime.
Pacific had the better of the play in the first overtime period, taking three shots, none of which were on goal. In the second 10-minute period, Puget Sound took control, taking two shots. However, once again, neither team was able to find the back of the net, and the game ended in a scoreless draw.
The game was the fifth overtime game of the season for the Loggers. They recorded a shutout for the ninth time this year.
Puget Sound outshot Pacific, 18-10, and also took more corner kicks (6-2). Goalkeeper Lauren Thomas (11-2-3) played all 110 minutes, making two saves. Grayson Williams-Krebs lead the squad with five shots, while both Val Reinhardt and Kendra Elderkin tallied three shots.
