PORTLAND, Ore.. - Warner Pacific scored first, but the tally did not hold up as Rocky Mountain rallied to defeat the Knights 3-1 today at David Douglas High School.
 
The Basics

• Score: Rocky Mountain 3, Warner Pacific 1 
• Records: RMC (3-2), WPC (0-3-1)
• Location: Palermini Stadium, Portland, Ore.
• The Short Story:  Ashley Valencia put the host team ahead in the 24th minute with a neat finish after a through ball from Carley Turner. The advantage for WP lasted until just before halftime, when Evelina Aberg found the back of the net in the 44th minute. The visiting Bears tacked on two more goals in the second period as Aberg struck again just three minutes in, and Gabi Heflin added the insurance goal in the 57th minute.

Notables

• Valencia's goal was her second of the season. 
• After a collision with a visiting player, Knight starting goalkeeper Allie Holterman was replaced late in the first period as a precaution.
• Aberg now has three goals on the season for Rocky Mountain.
• Warner Pacific outshot the Bears 8-7, but RMC keeper Missy Schultz made four saves to earn the victory.
• Rocky Mountain is receiving votes in the latest NAIA top 25 poll.
