MONMOUTH, Oregon --- The Western Oregon women's soccer team gave itself a chance heading into the final week of the season to pick up the final spot into the GNAC Tournament as the Wolves defeated Seattle Pacific 2-1 Saturday at WOU Soccer Field.

The Wolves now sit with 12 points at 3-5-4 in conference play, one point behind Simon Fraser for the final spot heading into the final two games with a season finale against the Red Leafs next Saturday (WOU also plays at Western Washington on Thursday while Simon Fraser takes on Saint Martin's that day - who is still in the hunt with 10 points).

The Wolves and Falcons (9-5-1, 7-4) played a scoreless first half before WOU got goals from Lilly Nowatzke in the 51st minute and a minute later got a goal from Chloe Smith to make it 2-0. SPU cut the lead in half with a goal in the 65th minutes, but WOU was able to hold the Falcons off.

SPU outshot WOU 11-9 with both teams getting five shots on goal. Darien Walton picked up three saves in the win for the Wolves.
