Eagles Late Goal Earns Shutout

KIRKLAND, Wash. – Northwest University’s Kelsey Greene scored in the 84th minute to give the Eagles an opening day, 1-0, shut out over UBCO (University of British Columbia Okanagan) on the NU Athletic Field.
 
Playing with just 14 players suited up for the game, Northwest University (1-0-0) came through with the score as Greene’s bending corner kick from the left side went off the hands of UBCO keeper Francesca Balletta and into the goal for the game winner. For the Heat from Kelowna, B.C., it was their second loss of the day after dropping a contest to Evergreen in the morning.
 
UBCO (0-2-0) controlled most of the first half with 7 shots to the Eagles’ 2, but NU turned the tables on the Heat in the second with a 7-3 shot margin including Greene’s game winner as it looked as though the game was headed for overtime.
 
Northwest U’s Patty Hughes recorded the shutout in goal making two saves on the day. Acacia Johnson led NU with 3 shots and Paige Howes led UBCO with 3 shots.
 
NU will now travel to Santa Barbara where they will face Biola and Westmont College in non-conference match-ups on August 21 and 23.
