LA GRANDE, Ore.  – The Northwest Christian University women's soccer team has now played four straight one-goal games against Eastern Oregon as the Mounties defeated NCU 2-1 on Sunday.
 
It was another close game as EOU (2-1) held a slim 6-5 advantage in shots-on-goal. The Beacons (3-3) had nine total shot attempts.
 
Eastern put the first notch in the scoreboard in the 15th minute as Madissen Ostergaard scored following a give-and-go pass with Nan Kiebert. They would take the 1-0 lead into the intermission.
 
NCU wasted no time in getting rid of the zero on their side of the ledger as Emily Miller scored her fifth goal of the season, taking a pass from Sierra Graton just three minutes into the second half and hitting the webbing.
 
Eastern quickly broke the tie eight minutes later when Yasmin Mookerdum scored unassisted.
 
The Beacons return home this week and will face Northwestern College of Iowa on Friday at 5 p.m.
