FOLSOM HAT TRICK LEADS LOGGERS PAST 'CATS, 5-0
McMINNVILLE, Ore. - Scoring three goals and assisting on another, senior Adrienne Folsom (Lakewood, Wash./Charles Wright) took charge of the nationally-ranked Puget Sound Loggers as they picked up an easy win against the Linfield Wildcats, 5-0, in a Northwest Conference women's soccer match on Sunday afternoon in McMinnville, Ore.
The Loggers (8-0-0, 4-0-0 NWC), who are ranked fourth in the NSCAA/adidas National Rankings and fifth in the D3kicks.com Top 25, didn't waste much time getting on the scoreboard. Senior Katie Gillette (Fairbanks, Alaska/West Valley) and junior Fiona Gornick (Portland, Ore./Grant) teamed up to feed Kelly Anderson (Centennial, Colo./Littleton) in the sixth minute as the Loggers took a 1-0 lead. Just a few minutes later, Folsom picked up her first goal of the afternoon to give UPS a 2-0 lead just 9:27 into the game.
A few minutes after that, Folsom fed Gornick and Gornick was able to power the ball over the head of Linfield keeper Kelsey Hasselblad as Puget Sound pushed their lead to 3-0. Folsom struck again in the 31st minute, this time getting under a pass from Gillette and heading the ball into the net. The Loggers final goal came at the 87 minute mark when Folsom scored unassisted to give Puget Sound the 5-0 win over the host Wildcats.
The Logger offense controlled the contest, outshooting the Wildcats 19-4. The UPS defense also played strong, allowing Linfield to just one shot on net which was saved by reserve keeper Katie Wheeler (Oregon City, Ore.). Kallie Wolfer (Salt Lake City, Utah/Skyline) made the start for the Loggers in net but wasn't forced to make a save in 45 minutes played.
The Loggers return to Tacoma next weekend as they will play host to Whitman on Saturday and Whitworth on Sunday. Both games are set to be played on Peyton Field at Baker Stadium, beginning at Noon.
