Eastern Washington :: CANCELLED :: Gonzaga
The match was 2-1 in favor of EWU when play was suspended for lightning. After an hour-plus delay, the match was cancelled and ruled No Contest. During play, sophomore midfielder Allison Raniere delivered a looping shot from the right corner of the box that dropped in behind goalkeeper Sarah Swanson (Spokane Shadow WFT) in the fourth minute. Then three minutes later Karley Baggerly (Spokane Shadow WFT) broke behind the defense and beat goalkeeper Mallory Taylor one-on-one to send a slow roller to goal, which narrowly crossed over as a defender came sliding in to clear. In the 16th minute Jenny Chavez scored when a corner from Aimie Inthoulay found Chavez's head. Eastern also hit the woodwork on two occasions in the opening half. PICS [+]
