August 30, 2007 Arcata, CA – Humboldt University scored three goals in the final thirty minutes to defeat Saint Martin’s 4-2 Thursday in the Humboldt State Classic. Humboldt scored first in the game when Kim Carroll picked up a goal on a short volley off of a free kick by Elissa White in the 19th minute. The Saints tied the game at 35:06 when Trisha Halvorson lofted a ball over the Lumberjacks’ keeper. Amber Pratt would pick up the assist. Just five minutes into the second half Saint Martin’s picked up their second goal to take the lead. Shannon White picked up a turnover outside of Humboldt’s box and tallied the goal. 60 minutes into the game the Lumberjacks’ offense kicked into action posting three goals in 10 minutes. Carroll picked up her second goal of the day at the 60:32 mark on an assist from Allison Lawrence. Tisha Cotta then added two goals of her own within a five minute time span. The first goal came off a rebound and the second off a cross from Megan Kobler. "We had a good patch going into halftime and going into the 2nd half where we actually were looking very sharp. These are moments that we are trying to frame and put into our playing memory,” said head coach Rob Walker. “We still have a lot to learn and some habits that need polishing just a bit more than I would like. Overall though, our performance on the day is something we will use to build on.” The Saints were outshot 14-8 by Humboldt and posted a total of three saves in the game. “Tricia Halvorson, Shannon White, Ashley Biral, Jessica Wilson and Julianna Sackeyfio had a strong game for the Saints,” added Walker. “Halvorson and White scored their first goals of the season while Biral, Wilson and Sackeyfio played well 'up the middle'.” The Saints will face the Argonauts of Notre Dame de Namur in California Saturday.
