Defense Pitches Shutout In 2-0 Win

Simpson allows just three shots against Mills

- (10/13/2004)

The women's soccer team picked up its first Cal Pac conference win of the season as they defeated the visiting Cyclones of Mills College.

Behind a defense that allowed just three shots all day, the Vanguards got two first-half goals that easily held up for the win.

Simpson opened the scoring just 12 minutes in as Johanna Sagehorn (Jr., Ukiah) latched on to a great through ball by Aubrey Davidson (Fr., Culver City) and blasted a left-footed shot into the corner.

Just 15 minutes later, Davidson found the open player again.  This time she slotted a pass through to her sister, Hannah Davidson (Fr., Culver City) who found the bottom corner of the net to make it a 2-0 game.

Heidi Brookshire (Sr., Klamath Falls, OR) made three saves to preserve the shutout.
