The Pioneers needed just 23 seconds in overtime to earn a 1-0 (box score) victory against the Pacific Boxers Saturday afternoon in Forest Grove. Stevie Thurin had the game winner for the Pioneers.

The Pioneers' Liz Martin (freshman, Fremont, Calif.) opened the scoring drive off of the opening overtime kickoff. Set up just off the near corner of the 18-yard box, Martin lofted the ball to the middle of the penalty area, where Stevie Thurin (senior, Park City, Utah) was in place to net the game-winner and her first goal of the season.

In regulation, the Boxer's Becca Roth had a clear look from just inside the 18-yard box in the seventh minute, but L&C goalkeeper Kate MacDougall (freshman, Danville, Calif.) parried the ball over the crossbar. Lewis & Clark¹s Katie Browning had a pair of opportunities in the 24th minute, dribbling around a pair of Pacific defenders before losing a one-on-one opportunity to Pacific goalie. Browning has a similar attempt a minute later, hooking the ball from the top of the box right to the hands of the goalkeeper

MacDougall finished with seven saves while collecting her seventh shutout of the season. 

With the victory, the Pioneers improve to 4-5-4, 3-5-1 in the Northwest Conference. Lewis & Clark wraps a two-match road trip on Sunday at George Fox, when they take on the Boxers in Newberg at 12 noon.
