Women’s Soccer Drops Home Opener to Northwest University

Celeste Schreifels scored first goal of game in loss to Eagles.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Senior Celeste Schreifels moved into fourth place in program history on the Lewis & Clark College career points list with her first goal of the season in the 78th minute, but it wasn't enough as Northwest University responded with two goals to escape Griswold Stadium with a win in a defensive battle.
 
THE BASICS
 
Northwest 2, Lewis & Clark 1 
(Lewis & Clark 0-1)
(Northwest 2-2)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
The Pioneers controlled possession Friday afternoon against the Eagles and had nine shots on goal before junior Abby Hayes booted a free kick from about 40 yards out and found Schreifels in the box, who chest-trapped the ball and then chipped it past Northwest's Ria Schwartz for the first score of the game.
 
Earlier in the half, Kate Meinhard had the best chance to put the Pios on the board in the 70th minute with a header off a corner kick from fellow sophomore Carson Warfield. The Eagles midfielder, Elizabeth Moretti, saved that ball at the right post.
 
Northwest scored the equalizer goal in the 81st minute and the go-ahead goal just under six minutes later. Lewis & Clark senior goalkeeper Sophia Young saved the first four shots she faced in the game.
 
Fifth-year student-athlete Chloe Helenihi made her return to the pitch after missing last season with an injury. The forward played 57 minutes off the bench with a game-high four shots in her return and one on goal.
 
Reigning Northwest Conference Rookie of the Year, Megan Yanagi tied Schreifels with a game-high two shots on goal.
 
Three players made their collegiate debut on Friday. Freshman Grace Smith started the game for the Pioneers and played 77 minutes, while fellow classmates Rowan Levandoski and Mischa Vanek came off the bench and each had a shot in the game.   
 
BY THE NUMBERS
  • Schreifels' 44 career points puts her one ahead of 2022 graduate Brecklyn Beighle.
  • Sophomores Abby Morrow and Meinhard started their first collegiate game with Morrow playing the full 90 and Meinhard going 76 minutes.
  • Hayes recorded her second career assist and was one of three players to play all 90 minutes on Friday.
  • The Pioneers outshot the Eagles 19-10 and held a 10-6 advantage on shots on goal and 5-2 edge on corner kicks.
WHO'S NEXT
 
The Pios return to the pitch at Griswold tomorrow at 2 p.m. for a meeting with the Bushnell University Beacons. The Beacons are coming off a 3-0 loss to Simpson University on August 17.
