Warfield's Late Goal Helps Women's Soccer Secure Tie In Salem

Carson Warfield scored her second free kick goal of the season

SALEM, Ore.—Sophomore Carson Warfield's free-kick goal in the 80th minute helped Lewis & Clark College women's soccer secure a comeback 1-1 tie against host Willamette University on Sunday afternoon. 
 
THE BASICS
Lewis & Clark 1, Willamette 1
(Lewis & Clark 3-7-3, Northwest Conference 3-4-3) 
(Willamette 1-9-4, NWC 1-6-3) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
After over 70 minutes of scoreless play, both teams scored on free kicks within eight minutes of each other in a tight 1-1 tie. 
 
Willamette took the lead in the 73rd minute. The Bearcats sent a cross into the box that bounced up and hit a Pioneers defender. The referee allowed the play to continue but after Lewis & Clark cleared the ball out of play, he pointed to the spot. Willamette senior Sophie Cleland stepped up and sent a low shot just underneath Pioneer goalie Sophie Young for a 1-0 lead. 
 
Lewis & Clark picked up the pressure from there and earned a well-deserved equalizer in the 80th minute. Senior Abby Hayes sent a long ball into the Willamette defensive half and senior Giselle Bodeen was upended by a Bearcats defender for a free kick 30-yards out along the near side of the field. 
 
The Pioneers turned to Warfield – who has quickly become the team's go-to player on free kicks. She calmly stepped up and floated a ball towards the far side of the net that the Willamette keeper managed to get a hand on but couldn't keep it out of the net. 
 
Neither side managed to record a shot in the final 10 minutes, forcing the two teams to split the points. 
 
Warfield led the Pioneers with four shots and three shots on target. Senior Sasha Raimondo added three shots and two shots on goal. Bodeen and senior Grace Billings each chipped in two shots apiece. 
 
In net, Sophia Young played the full 90 minutes and made one save. 
 
BY THE NUMBERS
  • Lewis & Clark outshot the hosts 16-6 and held a 6-2 edge on shots on goal. 
  • With the tie, Lewis & Clark won the season series against their Oregon rivals for a second-straight year and extended their unbeaten streak over Willamette to four games (2-0-2). 
  • Warfield has posted two goals and one assist this season – with all five of her points coming off of free kick situations. 
  • Young has now faced 499 shots in her career. She is one shutout shy of tying the program record for career shutouts. 
  • The Pioneers 16 shutouts are tied for their second-most this season against an NWC opponent. 
 
WHO'S NEXT 
 
Lewis & Clark will continue their season-high, five-game road trip on Saturday, when they travel to take on Linfield University at Noon. The Wildcats (14 points) sit two points ahead of Lewis & Clark (12 points) for fifth-place in the NWC standings.
