HOW IT HAPPENED
 
After two failed corner kicks in the opening minutes of Saturday's women's soccer game, Occidental's Clare Madden snuck a shot past Lewis & Clark keeper Sophia Young in the 21^st minute to score the game's lone goal.
 
Freshman Grace Smith was the first Pioneer to attempt to tie the match in with two shots in a span of 1:12. Her first shot in the 34^th minute was saved by Tiger keeper Ingrid Odmark, and her second attempt missed the goal high.
 
Lewis & Clark's Mackenzie Olver entered the game in the 40^th minute and immediately attacked the net with a shot that Odmark saved at the 40:19 mark.
 
Madden attempted to send the Tigers into the half with another goal, but Young stopped that shot in the 44^th minute.
 
The Pioneers came out aggressive in the second half. Helenihi tried unsuccessfully to find the back of the net at the 53:47 mark and again in the 65^th minute. Both times, Odmark was in the way.
 
In the final six minutes, Lewis & Clark had a shot stopped, one blocked, and the final attempt stopped. Sophomores Carli Driskell, Megan Yanagi, and Elle Sparks all tried to tie the game. Odmark saved Driskell's attempt in the 84^th minute. After kicking an attempt wide left in the 20^th minute, Yanagi had her second shot of the game blocked at 85:15. Sparks made one last attempt in the final minute, but Odmark earned her sixth save of the game at 89:27.
 
BY THE NUMBERS

• Young, who played all 90 minutes, had four consecutive saves to keep the Pioneers in the game.
• Lewis & Clark had more shots on goal 6-4 than Occidental, but each team had 10 total shots.
