In Case You Missed It

  • The Tigers were aggressive to start the match, Ryanne Molenaar taking the first shot of the game at 9:55. The shot was blocked past the goal line to give the Tigers their first corner kick, which resulted in a shot on goal by Aas at 10:30.
  • Northern Arizona was first on the board after an unassisted goal by Lumberjacks' Madison Montgomery.
  • The two squads played conservatively over the next 29 minutes, wrapping up the first half with the just the single goal.

  • Following another trip down the field, Packard knotted the score at 1-1 with a goal in the 53rd minute. Isabella Pariente gained position at the midfield, drove it down and passed the ball off to Packard at the top of the box. Packard then placed the ball in the bottom left corner of the net after going one-on-one with Northern Arizona keeper, Taryn Benham.
  • The Lumberjacks put some pressure on the Tigers defense immediately following the goal, taking five corner kicks and two shots between 59:14 and 67:48.
  • Pariente had another outstanding look in the 70th minute, dribbling down the right side of the field and passing off to Aas, who also scored to the back left corner of the goal after going one-on-one with the Lumberjacks goalie.

What Scroope Had to Say

"I am so proud of our team. We are resilient."

"A lot of players stepped up today and our future looks bright."

"Siggy coming back and leading the team is exactly what we needed with this young team. Brenna did a great job in goal, earning her first collegiate win. Issy is doing a great job offensively and Jenae continues to be a force on the field."

"I have to commend our sophomore class in stepping up and being leaders on the field and in their play."

"The versatility of our freshmen being able to play key positions will continue to help us grow."

 

Up Next
Pacific will make a trip East to take on Manhattan College (Sept. 13) and LIU Brooklyn (Sept. 15). The Tigers will return home on Sept. 22 for their final non-conference home match against Portland State at 1PM.
