Northwest Slips Past Women's Soccer 3-2

Senior Carli Driskill scored her first goal of the season

PORTLAND, Ore.—First year Riley Yip and senior Carli Driskill each scored their first goals of the season, but visiting Northwest University (WA) scored a goal early in the second half, to defeat Lewis & Clark College women's soccer 3-2 on Saturday afternoon. 
 
THE BASICS
 
Northwest 3, Lewis & Clark 2
(Lewis & Clark 0-2-1) 
(Northwest 4-2) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Lewis & Clark scored a pair of goals off of free kicks and nearly equalized multiple times late in the second half but fell just short in the non-conference matchup. 
 
Driskill scored off a direct free kick in the 9th minute. Yip tied the game at 2-2 just before halftime, when she scored off a perfectly executed corner kick. Juniors Mackenzie Olver and Rowan Levandoski each picked up assists on the play. 
 
Senior Delaney Jones made her first start of the season for Lewis & Clark in net. Jones posted six saves on nine shots, including a leaping effort to keep the deficit at 2-1 in the first half. 
 
Rachel Snow, Kennedy Leach and Kiersten Hendrickson all scored for the visitors, who earned their third-consecutive victory. 
 
Lewis & Clark opened the scoring at 8:49. Junior Iris Stutzman earned a foul just outside the 18-yard box on the right side of the field. With everyone expecting Driskill to cross the ball, she fired a shot across the goalmouth that went off the hands of the Eagles keeper and in to make it 1-0. 
 
Northwest tied the game at 17:32 off a corner kick. The ball rattled around the box and fell to Snow, who sent a right-footed shot through traffic to make it 1-1. 
 
Leach gave Northwest their first lead of the contest at 23:04. Sara Becerra picked up an assist on the play. 
 
Lewis & Clark tied the score with under 90 seconds to go in the half. Levandoski sent a corner kick to the near post and Olver back-heel flicked the ball to the middle of the box. Yip, who was making her collegiate debut in the contest, pounced on the ball and sent a right-footed shot past the keeper to make it 2-2 at 43:48. 
 
The visitors grabbed the lead back early in the second half. Hendrickson scored off assists from Becerra and Megan Hurley to make it 3-2 at 47:11. 
 
Lewis & Clark wouldn't go down without a fight and had several great chances to tie the game. Yip had one of the best looks, when she received a cross inside the box but her shot went just over the crossbar. Seniors Kate Meinhard and Sophie Rossier both posted shots on target in the final two minutes – but both efforts were saved. 
 
BY THE NUMBERS
  • Northwest held a 21-12 edge in total shots and a 9-8 advantage in shots on goal. 
  • Both teams finished the contest with six total saves. 
  • Yip is the first player to score in her Pioneers debut since first year Ella Viesturs scored in each of her first two games to start the 2018 season. 
  • With the win, Northwest improved to 3-0-3 against Lewis & Clark since 2008. The two teams have played in each of the last 3 seasons and the Eagles have posted two one-goal wins and a tie. 
  • Driskill scored her fifth collegiate goal on Saturday and now has at least one goal in each of her past three seasons.  
WHO'S NEXT 
 
Lewis & Clark will have a quick turnaround. The Pioneers will host UC Santa Cruz on Sunday at 10 a.m.
