MONMOUTH, Ore. --- The Western Oregon women's soccer team behind goals from a pair of seniors on Senior Night defeated Northwest Nazarene 2-0 Saturday night at WOU Turf Field.

The Wolves (6-5-8, 6-3-5 GNAC) jumped out early on the Nighthawks (4-14, 4-10) as senior Lulu Sadler scored her first goal of the season on an assist from fellow senior Olivia Fothergill in the third minute.

The lead extended to 2-0 just 1:07 into the second half when senior Lilly Nowatzke scored her first goal of 2024 on an assist from Lauren Rose.

WOU held strong and picked up their ninth shutout of the season as Sophia Pierce (a senior in academic standing) and senior Darien Walton combined at keeper to keep NNU scoreless - making three total saves.

The Wolves now get set for the GNAC Championships as fourth-seeded WOU takes on regular-season champion Western Washington 4 p.m. Thursday at Interbay Stadium in Seattle.
