SPOKANE, Washington – Abby Stranahan scored five goals, while
Cat Schilli and Emily LaRiveire both scored three teams to lead the Logger to an 11-9 Northwest Conference win at Whitworth Sunday.
Â
Neither team had more than a one-goal lead until the Pirates went up, 5
-3, with five minutes left in the first half. Whitworth added another goal for a three-score lead, but Schilli found the back of the net in the final seconds of the first half cut the Loggers' deficit to 6-4 heading into the break.
Â
The Loggers opened the second half on a tear. Stranahan scored the first two goals of the third quarter. The goals happened less than one minute apart from each other. LaRiviere then scored her second goal of the game to put the Loggers up 7-6, and Schilli added some cushion by making it an 8-6 game.
Â
The Loggers allowed only three goals in the second half. On came in the first few seconds of the fourth quarter, and the other was in the final minute of regulation.
Â
Phoeber Crowther earned the win between the pipes after entering the game in second half and amassing 11 saves.
Â
The Loggers' road stretch continues next week at Linfield and Pacific (March 11-12).
