The win was the third straight for the Lutes, who are 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the conference. Whitworth is 3-4-3 overall including 2-3-1 in NWC games.

The Lutes grabbed a 1-0 lead at 6:28 of the first half when Shannon's corner kick was headed by Christina McDuffie into the net. At 25:45, Shannon's shot was deflected by Whitworth goalkeeper Jenn Miller. PLU's Andrea Gabler converted the rebound into a 2-0 Lute lead.

Whitworth scored twice in a 1:13 second span of the second half to tie the game. Marissa Williams recorded an unassisted goal at 69:20, then Ashley Fisk made a penalty shot at 70:33.

Whitworth took three more shots and the Lutes two in the last 18 minutes of regulation but neither team could convert.

In overtime, Jackie Oehmcke's shot was deflected by back-up goalkeeper Leah Motz. Shannon gathered the rebound and put the ball into the left side of the net for the game-winner.

Whitworth will try to end a three match losing streak on Friday afternoon when the Pirates host Whitman College at noon. Lewis & Clark College will visit Whitworth on Sunday, October 9th, also at noon.
