LAST TIME OUT
A late penalty shot for the University of the Pacific Women's Soccer Team gave them the equalizer against the Gaels that led to a 1-1 tie at Saint Mary's Stadium last Saturday afternoon.

The Gaels struck early in the match when Suzuna Shibukawa fed a long pass to AnnaMaria DiGeronimo who was racing up the right sideline. DiGeronimo got around the corner on two Pacific defenders and fired a tough-angle shot up over the Tigers keeper for a 1-1 lead just over 11 minutes into the game.

It remained a 1-0 Gaels lead until the 84^th minute when a penalty was called on Saint Mary's in the box, as Kimaya Cole just clipped a Tigers attacker from the back that led to a penalty shot. UOP's Laila Saravia put the penalty shot in the upper right corner to tie the game at 1-1.

ABOUT PORTLAND
The Pilots are coming off a 1-0 home victory over the University of San Francisco for their first conference win of the season.
