The Pioneer soccer team was shutout by the Willamette Bearcats 3-0 Tuesday night at Griswold Stadium.

Willamette set the tone of the game almost immediately when Bearcat forward Lauren Miller had a breakaway just two minutes into the game. She faked out Pioneer goalkeeper Nora Germano (senior, Los Altos, Calif) and had a clear shot at the goal, putting Willamette up 1-0 at the 2:12 mark. Fifteen minutes later, Miller had another breakaway. She booted the ball towards the goal from 25-yards out. The ball deflected off Germano into the net for her second unassisted goal. Miller completed the hat trick at the 83:25 point of the game when she had another breakaway and once again managed to elude Germano, who was playing well out of the net, and punched the ball into the open net.

With the victory, the Bearcats improve to  5-8-2, 4-7-2 NWC. The Pioneers fall to 2-11-2, 2-10-1 NWC.

The Pioneers head to Newberg Saturday for an afternoon match against the George Fox Bruins.
