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.

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
