FOREST GROVE, Ore.- Pacific University lacrosse found some success on the offensive end on Saturday afternoon at Hanson Stadium, but Linfield came away with the 18-7 victory
Pacific falls to 2-12 overall and 0-10 in Northwest Conference play while Linfield maintains their position in fourth place in the league standings.
Hyland Cullen-Musengo (Sophomore/Portland, OR) netted four goals to lead the Boxers and
Billie Merriam (Junior/Windsor, CO) also enjoyed a multi-goal game, scoring twice on the day.
How It Happened
The Wildcats opened the scoring less than a minute into the contest, but Cullen-Musengo replied by catching the goalkeeper off guard with her long-range attempt that found the back of the net, evening the score at 1-1.
Five consecutive goals from the visitors gave the hosts a commanding lead before Cullen-Musengo scored to end the Pacific scoring drought.
Sophia Alexander (Sophomore/Santa Barbara, CA) followed with a goal of her own, bringing the Boxers within three.
