RIVERSIDE, Calif. - The Whittier College
women's soccer team had its opportunities but fell just short as La
Sierra escaped with a 2-0 win over the Poets on Tuesday evening.
The purple and gold played LSU to a 0-0 halftime score but allowed
goals in the 50th and 52nd minute in the loss.
The Poets (2-13-2) earned a 1-1, double overtime, tie with La
Sierra in the team's first meeting. That game was played on
September 10 and was Whittier's third game of the season.
Whittier outshot La Sierra for the game, 8-3, and even put more
shots on goal but couldn't find the net. Mayra
Murillo, Breeann Yamada, Zoe
Peirce and Melissa Davidson all had shots
on goal for the Poets.
Gina-Marie DiPierro started in goal and made
one save for the game.
The Poets return to action for their season finale on Saturday,
October 31, as they host SCAIC rival Occidental at 11 am.
