PORTLAND, Ore.—The Pilots pushed the attack from the opening whistle and never let down, producing 26 shots in a 3-0 defeat over North Dakota in a women's soccer match held at Merlo Field on Sunday afternoon. Freshman Elianna Wong and senior Sophie French each collected their first career goals in the second half, and All-WCC striker Taryn Ries converted a penalty kick in the 62nd minute to hand the Pilots their fourth shutout victory to close out nonconference play.
Portland (4-4, 0-0 WCC) put on a dominating display throughout the game, forcing North Dakota (2-5, 0-0 Summit) goalkeeper Madi Livingston into several critical blocks, who finished with seven saves by the end of regulation time.
