"Multnomah was well-disciplined and very difficult to break down," said NU Head Coach
Bryan Chud. "Our second half was superb, though, as we were patient and efficient with our chances. Once again, our defense was outstanding. Callie and Rylee added to their impressive goal tally, and MacKenzie scored a cracker at the end as well. I'm very proud of this team and love how eager they are to improve daily."
Â
Kat Sanchez collected a two-save shutout for her fourth clean sheet in a row.
Â
The Eagles outshot the Lions 27-3, with Wright taking eight shots and Rassier seven. There were 18 NU shots on goal.
