October 27, 2007 Bellingham, WA – Western Washington’s Lucy Miller headed in a ball in the 105th minute giving the Vikings the 1-0 win over Saint Martin’s Saturday night in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference match at Orca Field on the Whatcom CC campus. “We feel unlucky to have gone into OT for the third time this year and come out on the losing end. Getting there was a good battle with a regionally ranked team,” said head coach Rob Walker. Morgan Claire sent a through the air in front of the goal and Miller was able to head it in from three yards out. The two teams battled through the first two halves. Western Washington got off 25 shots in regulation but only four on goal. The Saints sent 11 at the Western Washington goal but were also unable to find the back of the net. “The first 20 minutes were the best part of our game, that’s when we posed Western Washington with some of the most difficult bits in the game for them to solve. Late in the second half we had a couple of good penetrating balls as well and just did get enough out of them. We just gave up a free kick and a couple of corners in overtime. We kind of opened ourselves up for the go ahead goal. Overall though, the game was good for us in that we were organized which was good to see.” SMU keeper Breanna Klasen spent the entire game in the goal posting four saves along the way. “Jessica Wilson played center back for us tonight and did a great job. Trisha Halvorson and Kayci Donatelli were solid in midfield and Ashley Biral had her usual hardworking skillful game up front.” The Saints head to Ellensburg on Monday to take on the Wildcats of Central Washington University.
