Jenkins Kicks Golden Goal, Women's Soccer Still Undefeated

Box Score KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Alex Jenkins provided the golden goal in Friday's 1-0 overtime victory over Oregon Tech to keep the Humboldt State women's soccer team's undefeated streak intact. The Lumberjacks improved to 3-0 for the first time since the 2006 season.

Twenty-one Jacks logged time in what Head Coach Paul Karver called a "very gutsy team performance". He said it was difficult for the team to get into a rhythm given the fires in town and the lack of training, but believed that the tide started to turn in the second half and "as we go into overtime, it's a clear message that good teams find ways to win in these situations, and these are the things that help craft and mold great teams."

HSU out-cornered the Owls 5-1 and outshot them 9-5, both Madison Barnett and MaKenna Dunn recorded multiple shots. Jenkins' goal was her third this season, and it comes on the heels of her nomination as California Collegiate Athletic Association Player of the Week for her efforts in last weekend's Lumberjack Classic. Rose Harman deftly assisted the game-winning goal at 98:00, serving a nice chip in that allowed Jenkins to finish in the lower left from 15 feet out. It was indicative of how the Jacks have utilized solid team play to put Jenkins in positions to have success.

"Alex is a great player, and again, it was another example of her willingness to put the work in to get into the box and into spaces where we thought we could be dangerous," said Karver. "But equally as important is the ball that Rose played into her. It was a ball that made the goal Alex scored appear to be simple because of the quality that it had. Something that we're going to continue to see this year is players accepting their roles to understand that we need them to serve balls into our attacking players and the more they do that, the more the quality of our attacking players really shows."

Next up for the 3-0 Jacks is their first taste of conference action in a road match with Cal State East Bay on Sept. 15.
