Whittier Loses in Season Opener

The Whittier College women's soccer team was shut out 3-0 by La Sierra University at the Donald E. Graham Soccer Field on September 6.  The Poets were outshot 9-6 by an undefeated La Sierra squad (2-0).

Lowhren Aceves '10 made three saves in her first collegiate start in goal.  La Sierra scored two goals in the first half and one in the second.

The Golden Eagles started the scoring in the 20th minute with a shot that sailed over Aceves' head and into the goal.  They added another less than three minutes later to take a 2-0 lead into the break.

The second half was highly contested with both teams getting chances early.  The best chance for the Poets was on a penalty kick ten minutes into the half that sailed over the crossbar.  La Sierra added their final goal off a corner kick with just one second remaining.
