PORTLAND, Ore. -
Hannah Hagler posted seven saves and gave up a single late first-half goal, but it came in defeat as the Whitman College women's soccer team fell 1-0 to Lewis & Clark in Northwest Conference action on Saturday at Griswold Stadium.
"I feel for the players," said Whitman coach
Michelle Voiland. "The team played a very well fought game and left everything on the field. We are excited and ready to get back out and compete again tomorrow."
The Pioneers (4-5-3, 4-3-2 NWC) had the better of the Blues (4-8, 1-8 NWC) in terms of chances on goal. Lewis & Clark put Hagler under pressure much of the game with a total of 21 shots, 12 coming in the first half. Whitman did manage seven shots of its own and forced Pio keeper Sophia Young into making two saves.
The game's lone goal came in the 38th minute. Megan Yanagi notched her third goal of the season on an assist from Madi Pastores. The goal proved to be the gamewinner as Lewis & Clark walked away with the win.
The Blues will look to earn a split on the weekend when they retake the field on Sunday at Willamette. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m.
