NEWBERG, Oregon (October 6th, 2024) - Women's Soccer (4-4-2, 4-1-1 NWC) made their way back to Tacoma with a win, and Leila Hausia-Haugen had the biggest reason to smile. With her first hat trick as a Logger, the junior and current season's leading goal-scorer kept the George Fox defense on high alert. George Fox may have scored first, but as the clock passed the 41 minute mark, Hausia-Haugen was first assisted by Kya Scott to tie the match 1-1. Then, only three minutes later, Zoe Fowler found Hausia-Haugen again, who put the Loggers up 2-1.

Halftime came and went, and the Loggers still pressed the Bruins. Again in the 65th minute, Hausia-Haugen found the back of the net, scoring the third and final goal goal the Loggers.

Additionally, there were some exciting things happening on the sidelines of the match throughout the game. Head Coach Stephanie Cox is being highlighted for her time and contributions at the University of Portland, specifically the 2005 Pilots Women's Soccer team. Documentary filmmaker Joe Kuffner was on site with his film crew this weekend, capturing footage for the film, titled "Unmatched: The Team That Changed the Beautiful Game", set to release in 2025. Cox was one of five national team players, alongside Christie Sinclair, Megan Rapinoe, Angie Woznuk Kerr, and Lindsay Huie from the smallest team to ever win a National Championship to also play nationally.

The Loggers next take on Whitworth at home, this Saturday at 2:45pm.
