Portland, Ore.| The Warner Pacific Women's Soccer team fell 3-1 to the Pacific University Boxers in a match on a warm Tuesday night at Eastside Timbers Sports Complex.
Â
The Knight's entered the game 1-1-1 while the Boxers came into the game 1-0-0.
Â
The Knights fell behind early on a successful Boxer penalty kick 8 minutes into the game. Good attacks and critical defensive plays from the Knights kept the deficit at 1-0 going into halftime.
Â
The Knights were able to strike in the second half.
Maddie Goss sent a corner kick which was finished brilliantly by
Logan Billy for her first goal of the season. The left footed volley energized the Knights and jump-started a flurry of offensive aggression late in the game for Warner Pacific. Â

Two goals in the final portion of the game from the Boxers proved to be the difference though. Despite the goals allowed, the game was another great effort from goalkeeper
Katie Pomerinke, who made 8 saves on the night.
