Eagles Hand Carroll First Loss

Acacia Johnson (3) mixes it up with the Carroll keeper going after the ball
Box Score KIRKLAND, Wash. – Northwest University's Acacia Johnson scored in each half to help lift the Eagles to a 2-0 victory over previously unbeaten Carroll College (Mont.) in a non-conference contest this afternoon.
 
The defenses held one another scoreless for 43 minutes until NU's Kelsey Greene lifted a nicely placed through ball up the middle from the opposing 40 to a streaking Acacia Johnson who put the ball into the lower left post from 12 yards out. Northwest would take a 1-0 lead into halftime.
 
In the second half it would be a defensive struggle until the 78:20 mark when Johnson would be on the scoring end of a through ball from teammate Sarah Taubenheim and take her own rebound off the goalkeeper and put a blast past Carroll goalkeeper, Jamie Carter, on the right side of the net.
 
Carroll pressed hard in the second half with 9 of their 11 shots, but the Eagle defense held strong and NU keeper, Patty Hughes came up with 4 key saves to protect the lead and the shutout. Hughes finished with 4 saves while Carroll goalkeeper, Jamie Carter, grabbed 6 in goal for the Fighting Saints.
 
Northwest U (2-5-1) had 13 shots to Carroll's (5-1-1) 11. Acacia Johnson led NU with 4 shots while Cassie Baldwin had 4 shots for the Saints.

"Our ladies played well today and they came in to game with a solid plan and executed it very well," said Val Seid, NU head coach. "All our players had a positive impact in game and it was just nice to finally play at home after 7 straight away games. Now it's time to rest get healthy and look forward to conference play. This game will give us the confidence we need to go into our conference matches."
 
Northwest will open conference play on Sept. 25 when they travel to Klamath Falls, Ore., to play Oregon Tech in the CCC opener. Carroll will travel to Olympia to play Evergreen this weekend.
