LACEY, Wash. – The Saints' back line held strong in one of the last home games of the season, but it was ultimately Central Washington who managed to sneak in two goals for the victory.

Ali Campigotto held the defense for the Saints, recording 10 saves on 12 shots. This marked a season high in saves and her fourth career saves in double digits.
Both teams had strong defense in the first half, with the Saints only allowing four shots from the Wildcats while shooting three of their own. CWU broke the scoreless tie with a goal in the 25th minute of the first half to take a lead.
In the second half, Saint Martin's nearly equalized the game with a shot from
Kiersten Madsen towards the bottom right of the goal; however, Central Washington barely turned away with the difficult save. In the 58
th minute, CWU ripped a ball from deep on the left side that barely got past Campigotto in the very top right corner of the goal. After the Wildcats' second goal, the Saints continued to put pressure on CWU with four shots attempts.
Justine Pauly and
Taylor Goodpaster each had two shot attempts for Saint Martin's, while five different Saints each recorded one shot.
