UC Riverside 2, Seattle 1 - Box Score
Riverside—The UC Riverside Women's Soccer Team honored its seniors Sunday afternoon in the final game of the 2008 season, but it was a sophomore, Heidi Garrett, who provided the highlight reel play-of-the-day.
With 15:11 gone in the second period, the Riverside, CA native set up for a free kick from 42 yards out on the right-hand side of the field. Her shot was straight on goal, and struck forcefully enough that it sailed over the Seattle keepers head and into the net breaking open a 1-1 tie and providing UCR with its final margin of victory.
Prior to the start of the match, the Highlanders honored their seven seniors saying goodbye to Stacie Anderson, Brittany Goetz, Loana Holness, Tessa Lennala, Sarah Mohammadi, Katie Sheldon and Kristen Williams, most of whom played on UCR's first NCAA Tournament team as freshmen back in 2005.
Lennala (Temeccula, CA) got the Highlanders on the scoreboard first with 1:30 remaining in the first half heading in a shot that Seattle's keeper got her hands on but couldn't hold on to. It was Lennala's conference-leading 11th goal of the season and the 24th in her three-year Highlander career - second most in UCR history.
Seattle connected with the equalizer off of a corner kick with 10:24 gone in the second as Jamie Coe headed the Kassandra Riozzi kick past Goetz knotting the game up at one apiece. Garrett followed with her free kick, the ninth goal of the season for her, mere minutes later.
The Highlanders finished the season with an 8-10-2 mark including 2-5-1 in the Big West. Seattle fell to 10-5-3 with the loss.
