LA GRANDE, Ore. - Just 39 seconds into their home debut the Eastern Oregon University soccer team found themselves in a 1-0 hole to George Fox University when Bruins forward Jenny McKinsey scored on a Kirsten Cardwell assist.
GFU added a second goal during the 15th minute on their way to a 2-0 win over the Mounties. The loss brings EOU's record to 1-2 with 5th ranked Carroll College in town on Friday and the University of Great Falls in La Grande Saturday.
Eastern got just three shots on goal, meanwhile their counterparts from Newberg had nine attempts against EOU.
The win for the Bruins takes them to 3-0 (3-0 overall) against the Cascade Conference. Last week GFU knocked off Oregon Tech (1-0) and Southern (1-0).
The Mounties played without All-Conference Defenseman Martha Billings who served a one game suspension after receiving a red card against Rocky Mountain. Billings will be available this weekend against the Saints and Argos. Both games are set to start at 2:00pm.
