October 11, 2007 Nampa, ID – Northwest Nazarene got the offense started early going on to shutout Saint Martin’s 3-0 in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference match Wednesday afternoon at the NNU Soccer Field. The Crusaders scored just under five minutes in when Carlee Stinton sent a corner in to Marie Smith who headed it in for the goal. Both teams were silent for the duration of the half. NNU scored again at the 56:19 mark when Liz Gross converted on a rebound created by another Stinton corner. Their final goal came in the 79th minute as Kim Bowen scored off a deflection by the Saints’ keeper. Northwest Nazarene got off a total of 22 shots in the game while the Saints were only able to tally nine. SMU goalie Breanna Klasen had nine saves in the match. “This game mirrored the one played in Lacey a couple of weeks ago. We had a few little breakdowns and individual errors and NNU was able to capitalize on those. Overall we played some very good soccer against a team that is improving in every game they play. This is a building block year and despite the result and disappointment we feel with the loss I am happy with our progress,” said head coach Rob Walker. “Cayla Dixon, Shannon White, Lauren Kruzner, and Amber Pratt played very well across the back which was good to see.” The women will stay on the road as they play Seattle Pacific on Sunday the 13th in Seattle.
