Central Washington University Athletics

The junior midfielder was the catalyst the Wildcats needed to pull ahead of Saint Martin’s University, 3-2, to earn their fifth GNAC victory. Nolte and the Wildcats fought through the wet, cold and rainy elements to bring their record to 10-2-1 on the season. Nolte recorded her first goal of the game early, when she cashed in on a rebound of Molly Mortensen’s shot off the post. In the 80th minute of the game, the score was deadlocked at 2-2. Nolte took a through ball from Keilin Farrand and broke through the Saints' back line.  With a defender latched onto her waistband, attempting to slow the midfielder down, Nolte struck a shot that beat the Saint’s goalie and gave the Wildcats' a crucial lead with 10 minutes to play. Nolte leads all Wildcats with six goals on the season.
