Women's Soccer Draws At Willamette, 1-1

SALEM, Ore. - In a closely contested matchup on Saturday afternoon at Sparks Field, the Whitman College women's soccer team battled Willamette University to a 1-1 draw in Northwest Conference play. 

The result was the fifth in Northwest Conference action and seventh overall this season.​ Seanee Still and Eleanor Johnson each played a half in goal for Whitman with Still keeping a clean sheet in the second half.

The Bearcats struck first late in the opening half. In the 42nd minute, Gabriella Weis rose above the crowd to head home a rebound off a shot from Natalie Rodriguez-De La Torre, giving the home side a 1-0 lead. Whitman, undeterred by the deficit, turned up the attacking pressure in the second half and found the equalizer in the 56th minute. Emoree Lash stepped around a defender and finished expertly into the upper right corner, knotting the score at one apiece.​

Whitman created a flurry of chances throughout the match, outshooting Willamette 15-7 and generating 11 second-half shots alone. Leah Barnes paced the Blues with six shots, four on target, while Lash's aggressive play not only provided the tying goal but also four attempts on goal. 

On the other end, Willamette's goalkeeper Siera Edwards kept her side in the contest with eight saves, including several stops under heavy second-half pressure.​

The closing minutes saw both teams push for a late winner, but neither squad could break through a determined defensive line as the clock wound down. 

The draw keeps Whitman firmly in the hunt in the crowded conference standings, moving their record to 3-3-7 overall and 2-2-5 in the NWC, while Willamette stands at 3-5-6 (2-4-5 NWC).
