Bushnell Head Coach Benny Flores said, "I am proud of the way the team played today! We just didn't capitalize on our opportunities. I felt we had a majority of the plays, but WPU made more plays than we did. I am excited for the continued development of the team."

Emily Puita and Bella Hernandez finished with four shots each to lead the Beacons. Anabel Mendez recorded three saves.
 
Bushnell continues conference play on Friday, Oct. 8, taking on the Evergreen State College at the Les Schwab Sports Park.
