Pioneer Soccer Plays to 1-1 Tie Against Wildcats

The Pioneer soccer team played a double overtime game Wednesday night at Griswold Stadium with the game against the Linfield Wildcats ending in a 1-1 tie (boxscore). Lisa Housman scored the Pioneer goal.

In the first period, Linfield got on the scoreboard first when Rennkia Doty took advantage of a Lewis & Clark foul called just outside the goal box to sail a kick over the head of Pioneer goalkeeper Nora Germano (senior, Los Altos, Calif.) into the net to put the Wildcats up 1-0. Five minutes later, with 2:30 remaining in the first half, the Pioneers' Sarah-Ann Kieffer (senior, Jacksonville, Ore.) stole the ball from a Linfield defender ten yards in front of the goal. She slipped a quick pass to striker Lisa Housman (senior, Beverly Hills, Calif) who had positioned herself on the right side of the goal. Housman kicked it in for her team leading fifth goal of the season.

In the scoreless second half, the Pioneers outshot the Wildcats 6-1, with Wildcat goalkeeper Kelsey Hasselblad making five saves in the second period. She also made two saves in overtime, one in each period. The Wildcats did not make a shot in the extra twenty minutes of play.

With the tie, Linfield's record becomes 5-7-2, 4-6-1 in the NWC. The second tie of the season for the Pioneers gives them a 1-10-2 overeall mark and a 1-9-1 record in Conference.
