BY THE NUMBERS
- First-years Tatum Akimoto-Albarado, Ava Lazzara, Kailani Pascua, and Sophia Gill made their official collegiate debuts off the bench.
- Sunday's contest marked the first-ever meeting between the two programs. The contest counted as a regular-season game for Lewis & Clark. It was an exhibition for Hawaii Pacific, who, due to NCAA DII rules, can't play regular-season countable games until September 7.
- Schreifels, Smith, and junior Carli Driskill played the full 90 on the offensive end.
- The Pioneers and Sharks combined for 27 shots in the game, and none were on target, while 10 were blocked between the two teams.
- Hayes played all 90 minutes for the 26th consecutive game of her career. She last played less than 90 minutes on October 22, 2022, against Puget Sound, when she sat out for 10 minutes.
- Since 2012, Lewis & Clark has not been in a game where neither team registered a shot on goal. The last time an opponent didn't register a SOG was at Benedictine College on August 31, 2019; the last time the Pioneers had zero shots on target was at Whitworth on September 23, 2017.
WHO'S NEXT
Lewis & Clark returns to Palatine Hill to host Multnomah University at 3 p.m. on Sunday in a non-conference game at Griswold Stadium.
