PORTLAND, Ore. – Katrina Weisbecker scored her second goal of the day in the first overtime period to give Lewis & Clark a 3-2 Northwest Conference women's soccer win over visiting Pacific Lutheran on a windy and rainy Sunday afternoon.

The win was the first in conference action for the Pioneers, now 1-10-1 in the NWC and 3-10-3 overall. With the loss, Pacific Lutheran falls to 3-8-1 in the conference, tied for sixth, and to 3-11-1 overall.

The Lutes finish the season with three of their final matches coming at home, including a Wednesday afternoon contest against conference-leading Puget Sound.

The heavy rain and strong wind did not stop Pacific Lutheran and Lewis & Clark from an evely played match. Both teams seemed poised for a victory from the start. PLU jumped out to an early lead on a beautifully struck ball from the right side by Mimi Granlund in the 10th minute. Granlund curled a ball from 20 yards out that found its way past goalkeeper Elise Delgado, off the left post and into the back of the net for her third goal of the season. Jordann Gilmer picked up the assist.

The Pioneers would answer, however, as Katie Browning corralled a loose ball off of an Emilia Emmetti corner kick. Browning turned and fired from 18 yards out, over leaping PLU goalkeeper Lauren Chambard and into the net. The half ended in a 1-1 tie.

The second half brought many scoring chances as both PLU and Lewis & Clark attacked on offense. In the 63rd minute, the Pioneers capitalized as Weisbecker hustled down a loose ball and beat a PLU defender around the left side before scoring her first goal of the match.

The Lutes responded only six minutes later. Karli Hurlbut faked a shot and made a few excellent moves that allowed her to weave through the Pioneer defense. She then placed a nice lob over Delgado to tie the game at 2-2.

The second half ended in a 2-2 tie and the Pioneers wasted no time in the first overtime period. In the fourth minute of overtime Weisbecker scored again, faking left, cutting right, and chipping a ball into the bottom right corner.

The Lutes outshot the Pioneers, 17-14, including 13-6 on goal, but Delgado had a solid day with 11 saves for the winners.
