Lute Women Win on McKinsey’s Second Half Goal

Match Statistics

TACOMA – Freshman Jenny McKinsey scored her third goal of the season in the 68th minute as Pacific Lutheran defeated the Pacific Boxers, 1-0, in a Northwest Conference women’s soccer match played Saturday afternoon at the PLU field.

McKinsey, who scored the first two goals of her collegiate career in PLU’s 2-0 win a week ago at Evergreen State, tallied this time on an assist from Lauren Meyer. The PLU defense, which allowed Pacific only three shots during the entire match, made the goal hold up through the final 22 minutes.

PLU sophomore goalkeeper Amanda Tschauner finished with two saves and picked up her second shutout of the season. For the Lutes, who improved their season record to 4-1, it was their third consecutive “clean sheet” and the fourth overall in five matches.

Pacific Lutheran enjoyed a 16-3 advantage in shots and forced Pacific keeper Shannon Tillman to make three saves.

The Lutes return to action at noon Sunday when they host Lewis & Clark.
