Box Score
MCMINNVILLE, Ore. – For the second day in a row, NU's Whitney Weaver scored the game winner and it came in the 87th minute today to give the Eagles a 1-0 shutout of Linfield College. *She scored one goal last night, not two as previously reported, in the 2-0 NU win over Whitman in Walla Walla, Wash.

With the game facing a possible overtime period, Weaver dribbled passed two Linfield defenders and put her shot from 18 yards out, passed the Wildcat goalkeeper for the game winner at 86:51, on a warm 83 degree day on the pitch.
 
Northwest U (4-1) dominated the midfield and outshot Linfield 18-8, giving up just four shots per half. Lauren Hellum earned her second straight shutout making two saves. Jalisa Santiago had four shots to lead the Eagles who also had seven corner kicks to the Linfield's two.

Sarah Bailey took the loss for Linfield (0-3) making 9 saves for the Wildcats in goal. Carole Thomas took four of Linfield's eight shots.
Said Coach Bryan Chud after the game, "We played a tough match today and came up against a stubborn opponent. I am very proud of the effort put forth today And, we deserved to get the win as we battled hard all over the field but eventually broke down their defense. Two shutouts in a row for our defense, and Lauren Hellum in goal."
