Women’s Soccer Suffers 3-1 Setback to Bruins

Juliette Miller scored her first collegiate goal to tie the game; Kate Meinhard records first career assist.

NEWBERG, Ore. – First-year Juliette Miller scored her first career goal to tie the game for Lewis & Clark College women's soccer in the first half of Sunday's Northwest Conference matchup, but George Fox University added two goals late in each half to prevail 3-1.

THE BASICS

George Fox 3, Lewis & Clark 1
(Lewis & Clark 4-6-2, 2-5-1 NWC)
(George Fox 5-5-2, 2-4-2 NWC)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Junior Anna Ingadottir anchored the Pioneers' defense, tying her career-high with seven saves against the Bruins, including five in the second half. Ingadottir last recorded seven saves in Newberg on October 30, 2022, against the Bruins.     
 
George Fox opened the scoring at 6:35 when Liv Haima found the back of the net, assisted by Becca Kozak.
 
Lewis & Clark responded quickly, with junior Carli Driskill booting a free kick from outside the left side of the penalty box. The ball landed in front of junior Kate Meinhard in the middle of the goal area, who one-touched the ball outside to Miller. The first-year connected on a high-kick, sending the ball past the Bruins' Emily Robey to score the equalizer at 13:38 for her first collegiate goal. Meinhard recorded her first career assist on the goal.
 
First-year Kailani Pascua gave the Pioneers a chance to take the lead in the 35th minute. She raced down the field and sent a solid kick from the top of the penalty box on the far side to the goal, but Robey dove for the stop.  
 
In the 40th minute, Haima attempted to score again for George Fox, but the ball bounced off the top of the crossbar and landed in bounds. The Bruins picked up the rebound and found Haima again in the goal area, but Meinhard was there to kick the ball out and record a team save.
 
Haima broke the deadlock just before halftime, scoring her second goal at 43:45 to give George Fox a 2-1 lead.
 
Senior Abby Hayes attempted to tie the game with less than 30 seconds before halftime with a chip shot in traffic that rolled just right of the far post.

Lewis & Clark continued to press for an equalizer in the second half. Junior Megan Yanagi, Driskill and first-year Siena Flock forced saves from Robey, while Meinhard narrowly missed the target.

The Pioneers' defense held firm for much of the half, with Ingadottir making crucial saves between the 69th and 85th minutes.

Despite Lewis & Clark's efforts, George Fox sealed the win with a late goal by Lindsey Kong at 87:20, assisted by Kozak.
 
BY THE NUMBERS
  • Senior Celeste Schreifels recorded her 138th shot of her career to tie her for fourth in program history with former teammate Brecklyn Beighle.
  • Lewis & Clark and George Fox combined for 35 shots in the game; the last time the Pios and a NWC opponent combined for 35 shots was on October 23, 2016, at Pacific Lutheran University.
  • Meinhard is the 11th Pioneer to record an assist this season.
  • Miller's goal was her third shot-on goal in four attempts in eight games; she is the 9th Pio to score a goal.
