The women's soccer team got the scoring machine cranked up with three wins last week. The Bears, who struggled to an overtime win in their season opener, found the going tough again against Principia College Sept. 6. WU fell behind in the ninth minute and trailed until junior Jessica Glick tallied her first goal of the season at the 30-minute, 17-second mark on an assist from freshman Lindsay Farrer. Glick would add another goal, this one unassisted, just under four minutes before halftime to give the team a 2-1 edge at the break. Principia tied it up, though, at 62:54 and kept it tied until Sarah Wood fed Trisha Young for the game-winner at 87:41. It was a different story against Coe College Saturday, Sept. 9, as WU outshot the Koehawks 46-0 on the way to a 7-0 win. The Bears made it three-for-three on the week with a 3-0 win over the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Sunday, Sept. 10.
Illinois Wesleyan University turned four of Washington University's six turnovers into scores as the Titans beat the Bears 24-0 Saturday, Sept. 9, in Bloomington, Ill. The Bears defense kept the Titans in check most of the game, but Illinois Wesleyan took possession inside WU's 40-yard line on each of its four scoring drives. Senior QB Greg Lake was picked off at his own 39-yard line, and the Titans cashed in on the next play with a 39-yard TD toss on the first play of the second quarter to make it 7-0. Illinois Wesleyan made it 10-0 with a 37-yard field goal on the last play of the third quarter and then picked off another pass at WU's 28-yard line on the Bears' ensuing possession. Another one-play scoring drive, this time a 28-yard pass, made it 17-0. The Titans would add one more TD late in the fourth to close the scoring.
The Bears went 90 minutes without a goal against Principia Sept. 5 but stayed in the game with defense, not allowing a Panther shot for the entirety. WU finally broke through with a goal at 98:14 off the foot of freshman Steve Bujarski, assisted by Casey Lien. It was the Bears' first goal on their 21st shot of the season, and gave WU the win, putting them at 1-1. The weekend, however, did not treat the Bears as well, as the team dropped games against the University of the South (2-0) and Rhodes (3-0).
The word was domination for the Washington U. volleyball team, as the Bears won every game in the weekend tourney, going 4-0 and winning the Washington University Classic Friday and Saturday, Sept. 8 and 9. Only one team, Fontbonne College, managed to score in double-digits in any game on the weekend. The Bears held runner-up Elmhurst College to 21 total points, defeating them 15-8, 15-5, 15-8. Seniors Jackie Foley and Katie Gielow were both named to the WU Classic All-Tournament team for spectacular individual efforts.
The men's and women's cross country teams both claimed titles in the WU Invitational this past weekend. Both squads put their five scorers in the top 10 of each race. For the women, freshman Emily Lahowetz again took top honors for the Bears. Her second-place finish came in a time of 18 minutes, 39.4 seconds over the 5,000-meter course. On the men's side, junior Pat MacDonald took second place in the 8,000-meter course, with a time of 25:57.4.
