September 8, 2007 Spokane, WA – Whitworth University picked up a hat-trick from freshman Emily Rohde on their way to defeating Saint Martin’s 7-0 in non-conference women’s soccer action Saturday afternoon. Whitworth got three goals in the first half and four in the second. Their first goal came in the 14th minute when Rohde scored her first goal on an assist from Greta Thibodeau. She would score the Pirates third and fifth goal in the 43rd and 71st minutes. Thibodeau, Kelly Baker and Lindsey Oakes all had a goal and an assist for the Pirates. Jenny Krzymowski sent a shot into the goal at 75:55 to score the final goal of the game for Whitworth. Breanna Klasen and Michelle Donachie split time in the goal. Klasen picked up five saves in the first half while Donachie had one. Whitworth goalie Leah Motz had to make only one save to post the shutout for the Pirates. Whitworth outshot Saint Martin’s 23-2 including a 13-1 advantage in shots on goal. “It’s always hard in a game like this to find bright spots. We came out in the first 15 minutes and looked very good against a tough team. They were able to break us down and cause problems for us,” said head coach Rob Walker. “It’s great to play a team like this because it gives us the opportunity to reinforce that we still have work to do. We have to get right back to it because we have big conference games coming up.” The Saints’ get set to face Seattle University on September 14th in Seattle. It will be the first conference game for the Saints and the second to Seattle.
