TACOMA, Wash. – With a 1-0 victory over visiting Linfield College on Saturday, the Pacific Lutheran University women's soccer team is now riding a nine-match winning streak, which is the longest since the Lutes joined NCAA Division III and the longest since they were the national runner-up in 1992.

Junior Tasha Tennyson provided the game-winner for the home team in the eighth minute.  Tennyson poked the ball past the Wildcat keeper after receiving a pass from freshman Meghan Michels.  It was Tennyson's third goal of the season and Michels' fifth assist to lead the team.

The Lutes (10-1-1, 8-0-0) controlled the ball for much of the afternoon and PLU keeper Ashton Huppert had to make just ____ saves to earn her fifth shutout of the season.  The junior goalie has yet to allow a goal this season in over 500 minutes of game action. 
 
PLU continued its domination of Northwest Conference competition as it completed a perfect run through the first round of league action.  So far this season, the Lutes have outscored conference foes by an astounding 20-1 Margin.  
 
On the day, the Lutes outshot the Wildcats (5-6-0, 4-3-0 NWC) 15-6 and enjoyed a 10-4 advantage in corner kick opportunities.  
 
The Lutes will travel to eastern Washington next weekend to take on Whitworth University on Saturday and Whitman College on Sunday.  Both games are scheduled for a noon kickoff.
