BURNABY, B.C. (Oct. 14) – Mackenzie Nolte became the Wildcats' all-time points leader, but the Central Washington University women's soccer team fell to Great Northwest Athletic Conference foe Simon Fraser University, 4-1.
 
The Wildcats are now 1-9-3 overall, with a GNAC record of 0-6-2.  The Clan improve to 6-7-0 and 4-5-0 in GNAC play.
 
"Extremely disappointed in how we put our product out there today," CWU Head Coach Michael Farrand said afterward.  "We gave up the early goal and had to fight back all game.  After the effort we put in against SPU, it's a let down for us."
 
Simon Fraser gained an advantage of the scoreboard early in the first half. 
 
In the third minute Christina Dixon found the back of the net, giving Simon Fraser a 1-0 lead.
 
The Wildcats earned a corner in the sixth minute and Nolte fired a shot that nearly missed the far post.
 
In the 11^th minute, Sophia Keenan sent a volley goalward that was stymied by Priya Sandhu.

After 45 minutes, the score stood at 1-0 Simon Fraser.
 
Simon Fraser expanded its lead in the 60^th minute.  A free kick was sent into the 18 by Jenna Baxter, where it was met by a header from Emma Pringle for a 2-0 lead.
 
The 66^th minute saw another attempt at goal for Simon Fraser.  Jenna Baxter's corner was headed goalward by Katelyn Erhardsen, giving the Clan a 3-0 lead.
 
The Wildcats struck for their lone goal in the 75^th minute.  Nolte took a pass from Kylee Dillon and fired it home from 30 yards out.

The Wildcats are back in action on Thursday (Oct.19) at home as they take on Northwest Nazarene University.  Kick-off is slated for 3:00 p.m. at the CWU Soccer Complex.
 
"We need to regroup and move on to NNU," Farrand finished.  "We need to take steps forward, not back."
