SEATTLE (Nov. 5) -- Central Washington University midfielder Kelsy Villegas (Graham/Graham-Kapowin HS) and forward Carson McKole (Oak Harbor) both scored first-half goals for the women's soccer team, but two second-half goals by Seattle Pacific University handed the Wildcats a season-ending 4-2 loss.
