PORTLAND, Ore. — Emily Thompson scored her second goal of the season, while a pair of Boxers got their first assists in a 2-1 loss to Warner Pacific at Damazo Field.

Warner Pacific (2-3-0) opened the scoring in the eighth minute, before adding to its goal total in the 11th minute when Mackenzie Ancien tallied from 15 yards.

Pacific (0-3-1) looked to battle back in the 17th minute when a turnover led to a one-two combo between freshman Bella Jackson (Seattle, Wash.) and sophomore Sadie Schmeling (Post Falls, Idaho). The final pass from Schmeling found the feet of Thompson (Orange County, Calif.) and from six yards out the junior slotted in her second goal of the season.

THE MATCH WAS OVER WHEN... Pacific went on the attack in the second half, forcing Warner Pacific's goalkeeper to make six second half saves, but the 80th minute saw the woodwork create heart break as Thompson's possible tying goal careened off the crossbar.

STAT OF THE GAME... The Boxers placed 62-percent of their shots on frame at Warner Pacific including six of nine second period shots.

NEXT UP... Pacific enters Northwest Conference play on Wednesday evening, playing host to George Fox at Ledbetter Field at Hanson Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

HAT TRICK, QUICK FACTS...

2... Schmeling and Jackson were each credited with the first assist of their Pacific careers.

3... Thompson has now scored two goals in each of her three seasons in Forest Grove.
