Saint Martin’s 4, Holy Names 0 – Recap
Rayna Murphy scored from ten yards out in the ninth minute of the game and Evergreen held on for the next 80+ minutes to knock off George Fox 1-0 in Newberg, Oregon. The Geoducks outshot the Bruins 10-4 and George Fox managed just one shot on goal giving Kaitlin MacKenzie an uneventful shutout in goal.
Nikki Roberts scored her first career goal in the 38th minute and then freshman Kelli Bannerman added an insurance hat trick in Saint Martin’s 4-0 win over Holy Names in San Francisco. Bannerman is just the second Saints women’s soccer player to record a hat trick. Goalkeepers Gina Cardenas and Hannah Barlow each made a save in the shutout.
