Box Score FOREST GROVE, Oregon – Grayson Williams-Krebs' 87th minute goal was the difference, as the Puget Sound women's soccer team defeated Pacific, 1-0, on Sunday afternoon. The team has now won seven games in a row, after dropping their opening match.
The Loggers (7-1, 4-0 NWC) came out on the front foot, outshooting the Boxers (4-3-1, 2-2 NWC) 4-1 in the first half. Despite all of their shots being on target, Boxer keeper Kailey Hifumi was able to keep the visitors off the board.
The second half proved to be more statistically even, with Puget Sound and Pacific both recording four shots through the first 86 minutes. However, in the 87th minute, Grayson Williams-Krebs broke the stalemate. The senior put her shot far post, out of reach of the keeper. The goal was her team-leading fifth goal of the season.
The Loggers outshot the Boxers, 9-5, while both teams took three corner kicks. Goalkeeper Lauren Thomas (7-1) earned the win, playing all 90 minutes and making two saves. Williams-Krebs and Jacquelyn Anderson led the Loggers with two shots each.
Puget Sound's next match will be Saturday, October 1, when the team travels to Willamette. The Loggers will look to extend their winning streak to eight, beginning at 12 p.m.
