Schreifels’ Hat Trick Gives Women’s Soccer NWC Opening Win Over Willamette

Celeste Schreifels records second hat trick in five days; Iris Stutzman records point in third straight game.

SALEM, Ore. – Lewis & Clark College women's soccer won their third straight game 3-0 over Willamette University in the Northwest Conference opener for both teams behind the offense of senior forward Celeste Schreifels and the defensive effort of junior goalkeeper Delaney Jones.
 
THE BASICS
 
Lewis & Clark 3, Willamette 0
(Lewis & Clark 3-1-1, 1-0-0 NWC)
(Willamette 1-2-2, 0-1-0 NWC)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Schreifels recorded her second career hat trick and became the second women's soccer player in program history to score a goal in four consecutive games, joining Anna Thorndike, who accomplished the feat from September 14 to 22, 2013.
 
Jones recorded five saves, including three in the first 12 minutes of play, to earn her second career shutout and her third straight and career win in net.
 
Sophomore Grace Smith led the Pioneers with six shots against the Bearcats. Schreifels was second on the team with four shots, all on target, while juniors Megan Yanagi (two on goal) and Carli Driskill (one on target) were third with two shots each in the game.
 
Junior Elle Sparks booted the ball from about 40 yards out and found Schreifels in the box, who headed the ball past Willamette goalie Sam Borngasser at the 25:26 mark. It was the first career assist for Sparks and the seventh goal of the season for Schreifels.
 
Almost 13 minutes into the second half, sophomore Iris Stutzman connected with Schreifels for the third time in as many games. This time, Stutzman kicked the ball from the far side of the penalty box and found a sliding Schreifels to put the Pioneers up 2-0 at 57:54.
 
On a Lewis & Clark throw-in by junior Abby Morrow, Stutzman's header found a running Schreifels, who scored her third goal of the game on her third touch with a left foot behind the back heel kick.  
 
BY THE NUMBERS
  • Schreifels has tied Lewis & Clark Hall of Famer Lisa Housman for the most points in program history (74 points) after scoring her three goals on Wednesday. She also joins Housman as the only two Pioneers to score two hat tricks in the same season.  
  • The Pioneers have won their NWC opener for the fourth consecutive year.
  • Stutzman is the twelfth player in program history to record a point in three straight games.
  • Jones is second in the NWC with a .846 save percentage.
  • Schreifels leads the NWC in shots on goal (13, 2.60/game), goals (nine), game-winning goals (three), and points (18).
