September 14, 2008 Walla Walla, WA – Kandis Jarvis scored in the 63rd minute to tie the game for Saint Martin’s and send the game into overtime but Whitman found the goal just five minutes into the extra period to take the 2-1 win Sunday afternoon at the Whitman Athletic Fields. The Missionaries struck first scoring in the 27th minute as Jennifer Doane scored from 15 yards out on an assist from Amy Hasson. The score would remain the same through half until Jarvis scored at the 63:45 mark, sending the ball into the right corner from 10 yards out to force the overtime period. Whitman’s Libby Watkins triggered the game-winning play by threading a pass toward the top of the box. Corina Gabbert got her foot on the ball at the same time as Saint Martin's goalkeeper Ashley Engel slid in front for the block. The ball popped loose and Gabbert was there to knock in the rebound, giving the Missionaries the win. “We didn’t play well in the first half but it was much better in the second half. They put in a lot of hard work and effort to equalize things,” said head coach Rob Walker. “It was a tough way to lose a hard fought game.” Michelle Donachie spent the first half in goal for the Saints tallying three saves. Ashley Engel played the final 50 minutes in goal with five saves before allowing the winning goal. The Saints play their first conference game of the season Saturday, September 20th at Central Washington University.
