2nd Half Spree Sends Corban Past WP

Box Score SALEM, Ore. – Four different Warriors scored goals in the second half, as Corban's women's soccer team picked up a 4-0 victory over the visiting Knights of Warner Pacific Saturday on Warrior Field.

With today's win, Corban improves to 9-6-1 overall and 4-3-1 in Cascade Collegiate Conference play. Meanwhile, Warner Pacific falls to 1-12-0 overall and remains winless in conference games at 0-7-0.

After a scoreless opening 45 minutes, Corban erupted for three goals within a 10-minute stretch with senior Emily Tsugawa getting the game-winner at the 48:20. The Warriors' scoring would begin with Tsugawa's 10th goal of the season off an assist from sophomore Danni Buechley. The second-year Warrior would begin the play by unleashing a shot from 25 yards out that caroomed off the crossbar before finding a wide-open Tsugawa, as she calmly deposited her shot into the back of the net in the 49th minute.

Less than three minutes later, freshman Terrika Weaver would get into the scoring act with her fourth goal of the season off an assist by junior Audrey Sullivan. The play would begin with Sullivan taking the ball down the far sideline before lofting a cross in the air along the end line where Weaver headed home Corban's second goal of the afternoon at the 51:00 mark. Just over seven minutes, later, Sullivan would scored her team and conference-leading 12th goal of the season when she teamed with fellow junior Emily Boudreau on a free kick. Following a Warner Pacific foul along the near sideline, Boudreau would direct a pass up and over the defense to Sullivan, who headed home Corban's third goal of the afternoon at the 58:26 mark.

Neither team would score again for the next 30 minutes until Boudreau got her second goal of the weekend off an assist by freshman Maria Dominguez-Gonzales in the 88th minute. Dominguez-Gonzales would begin the game's final scoring play with a cross into the middle where Boudreau was waiting for a one-timed shot from 25 yards out that eluded Warner Pacific's keeper for the final score at the 87:48 mark.

Corban's junior goalkeeper Alexis Beattie would play all 90 minutes and registered four saves, while Warner Pacific would split time between a pair of net-minders Victoria Clemenson and Lynzee Felder. Clemenson would play the opening 74-plus minutes between the pipes registering a game-high five saves before Felder entered for the game's final 15-plus minutes.

Overall, the two teams were even over the opening 45 minutes with each squad registering six shots before Corban turned up the offensive pressure out-shooting Warner Pacific by 10 shots (13-to-3) in the second half for the final tally of 19-to-9. The Warriors also had the advantage in shots on goal (9-to-5), while also earning five more corner kicks (8-to-3) than the Knights.
