Women’s Soccer: Saints win in overtime

August 30, 2008

Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s women’s soccer started off their season on the right foot as they defeated Cal State San Bernardino 1-0 in overtime Saturday afternoon at the Regional Athletic Complex.

Both teams were held scoreless through regulation. The Saints were outshot 14-7 but Ashley Engel made seven saves to shutout the Coyotes.

In the sixth minute of the overtime period Jessica Wilson scored an unassisted goal to give the Saints the win.

Wilson's goal into the high left corner was the only shot in the extra period. CSUSB goalkeeper Laura Lyons made four saves prior to giving up the game-winner.

“San Bernardino is a very good team; very athletic and well coached with a lot of skill. Our girls played well and were good up the spine of the team. Everybody contributed today and showed solid performances,” said head coach Rob Walker. “I’m happy with today’s win; it a great way to start off the season.”

The Saints are back in action Thursday, September 4 taking on Cal State Chico at 1pm at the RAC.
