WSOC clinch GNAC tournament spot with draw against NNU

NAMPA, Idaho — The Western Oregon women's soccer team played to a 0-0 draw against Northwest Nazarene at NNU Soccer Field on Saturday afternoon, securing a spot in the GNAC postseason tournament.

The Wolves (8-4-6, 5-4-5) recorded their sixth shutout of the season, limiting the Nighthawks (6-5-7, 4-5-5) to just seven shots on target, with goalkeeper Sophia Pierce saving six of those shots.

The Wolves' attack applied pressure to NNU's offense, tallied 12 shots with five on target. In the 83rd minute, Lilly Nowatzke had an opportunity at the bottom of the goal, but it was saved.

The draw gives the Wolves 20 points - securing a top-four spot in the conference's postseason tournament. Depending on Simon Fraser's result Saturday night against Seattle Pacific (the Red Leafs have 18 points), WOU will either be the No. 3 seed and face Western Washington or the No. 4 seed and take on Seattle Pacific.

The Wolves will play their first game of the GNAC Soccer Tournament on Thursday in Ellensburg, Washington.
