Nighthawks Blank Wildcats

NAMPA, Idaho – The Central Washington University women's soccer team fell to Northwest Nazarene University, 5-0.
 
The Wildcats (1-4-0, 0-1-0) chances were few and far between against the Nighthawks (3-1-1, 1-0-0). Northwest Nazarene outshot Central 15-7, including a 10-3 clip in shots on goal.
 
Ashley Parton gave the Nighthawks an early lead, scoring in the 11th minute. Four minutes later, McKenzie Buell added a brace to make it 2-0. Another pair of first half goals from the Nighthawks also had a two-minute separation. Carolyn Moravec's 35th minute goal gave way to a goal from Matisyn Ohlson less than 120 seconds later. 
 
"It was a tough loss," Assistant Coach Emmy Koflanovich said. "We started off strong but let up and gave them opportunities that should not happen. We were able to fix some of our issues for the second half and kept a good fight going. Northwest Nazarene did a good job capitalizing on their chances and that's what made them successful."
 
Central managed just three shots in the first half. Sydney Lowe and Sophia Keenan took shots in the first 10 minutes of the game, forcing Alexis Montoya into action for the Nighthawks. Makinzie Packwood's shot came in the 18th minute, but she sent it wide right.
 
Megan Fox turned away three shots in the first half. Liz Canton, who came on for the second half, finished with two saves.
 
The second half was a bit brighter for the Wildcats. They held NNU to just four shots. Canton made stops against Carolyn Moravec in the 49th minute and Elysia Moore in the 87th minute.
 
Packwood and Lowe were the only two Wildcats who managed shots in the second stanza, taking two each. Packwood sent a shot just right early in the second half and had her shot from the wing blocked in the 56th minute. Lowe took a shot from the top of the 18 in the 52nd minute, forcing Montoya back into action, and sent her second shot over the bar in the 71st minute.
 
It is the first time Central has been held without a goal this season.
 
Emily Darcy and Tess Sparks were the only players, on either team, to play a full 90 minutes. Finn Sprankle also chipped in 84 minutes.
 
The Wildcats travel to Montana State Billings for their second GNAC match. Kick-off is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. PT.
