FOREST GROVE – It took a little extra time magic at Hanson Stadium for the Pacific women's soccer team to open conference play with a victory, but senior Ashley Park-Hunt's head delivered the prestige for the Boxers in a 1-0 victory over George Fox.
 
The opening 90 minutes saw only six shots placed on frame between the two sides, including four by the Boxers.
 
Less than five minutes of extra time was needed on the Hanson Stadium pitch as a shot by senior Holly Chang-Northway (Eugene, Ore.) was parried away by Bruins' keeper Morgan Bars.
 
Bars' save set Pacific up with a corner kick opportunity, in the 95th minute.
 
Senior Lucy Almao (Orange County, Calif.) sent an out swinging ball inside the 18-yard box, which grazed the head of junior Sydney Virgen (Richland, Wash.) and found the foot of Chang-Northway. A ball off the foot of Chang-Northway found Park-Hunt (Mililani, Hawaii) in front of the goalmouth, where she tucked a golden goal header inside the near post.
 
Chang-Northway and freshman Annie Clark both put two shots on frame in the victory, while sophomore goalkeeper Kailey Hifumi (Mililani, Hawaii) notched a pair of saves between the posts.
 
The Boxers hit the road on Sunday for a noon conference showdown at Willamette.
