Saint Louis Wraps Up Two-Game Set With NorPac Foe Pacific

Oct. 21, 2002

Stockton, Calif. - On Monday, Oct. 21, the Tigers started their first winning streak of the season with a 1-0 win over Saint Louis. With the win, Pacific improves to 3-11 on the season and 2-3 in the NorPac conference, while the Billikens fall to 1-13 overall and 0-5 in conference.

Tiger junior Cameron Kato was the star on Monday as she scored her first goal of the season and nabbed her fourth defensive save of the year to preserve the Pacific victory.

Kato's goal came on a penalty corner play as she hit a shot past Billiken goalie Julie Moeckel. The shot initially appeared to be stopped, but then the ball rolled over Moeckel and into the net at the 19:24 mark. Moeckel made six saves in her second game of the season.

That 1-0 lead would be tested in the second half as the Billikens out shot Pacific 5-2. The Billikens best opportunity came with approximately ten minutes remaining as Saint Louis had three shots denied, two by Pacific goalie Gina Sadler and the final shot knocked down and cleared by Kato.

The Billikens took six shots while the Tigers took nine.

The Billikens head to Indiana for a Saturday matinee before returning home to host Lindenwood for Senior Day on Wed., Oct. 30.
