Women's Soccer Falls To George Fox In NWC Action

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The Whitman College women's soccer team carried a one-goal lead into halftime but saw three second-half goals result in a 3-1 loss to George Fox in Northwest Conference play, Saturday at the Whitman Athletic Complex.

Allie Seracuse made eight saves in net for the Blues (1-6, 1-3 NWC) with GFU keeper Annalisa Klein posting 10 saves on the afternoon.

The Bruins (2-5, 2-2 NWC) had the lionshare of the possession for good stretches of the first half, but it were the Blues who struck first just before halftime. Carolina Gonzales gained possession outside the penalty area, then struck a solid shot from 25 yards out that dipped under the crossbar and into the far post netting.

The equalizer came with just under 30 minutes to play in the game. Pilialoha Ahina shot the ball from well outside the penalty forcing Seracuse to a nice save. The save came with a parry out in front of the goal which Madison Burch pounced on and finished.

George Fox continued to put on the pressure but Kate Prudent would get active on the attack. Played in behind the backline, she had a 1v1 with the final Bruin defender but was taken down in the penalty area on a fair challenge.

The Bruins would get their game winner, however, with Just over 10 minutes to play. With conditions slick due to rain earlier in the game, Seracuse gained possession of the ball but saw it slip out of her hands during her distribution. Megan Herrington took advantage and slotted the loose ball into the back of the net.

George Fox all but sealed the win after drawing a foul inside the penalty area with less than five minutes to play. Seracuse came in late for challenge and Brittany Bravo converted the spot kick.

The Blues return to action next Friday, Oct. 4 with a visit to Linfield. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m.
