September 22, 2007 Lacey, WA – Katy McNutt scored two goals for Northwest Nazarene on their way to a 3-0 victory over Saint Martin’s in conference soccer action Saturday afternoon. The Crusaders got all three of their goals in the first half. McNutt picked up her first goal in the 17th minute on a cross that hit off the SMU goalkeeper. She would score the third goal of the game, her second, 11 minutes later sending one into the back right corner. Northwest Nazarene’s second goal came on a penalty kick by Marie Smith at the 27:37 mark. “This was a game that if you hadn’t read the scoreboard midway through the first half you wouldn’t have known we were three goals down. We paid a dear price for several simple mistakes and got punished for them. The kids fight was good but we’ve got to improve our quality as a team,” said head coach Rob Walker. The Crusaders outshot the Saints 15-5 with 10 in just the first half. Breanna Klasen and Michelle Donachie split time in goal for SMU. Klasen had four saves and Donachie had three. “Jessica Wilson was very good in midfield as was Trisha Halvorson. Michelle Donachie played very well in goal; we were very pleased. Julianna Sackeyfio did well up front and was dangerous on many occasions,” added Walker. Saint Martin’s will be at home against Central Washington on Friday, September 28.
