Early missteps lead to improvement for women’s scocer.

The Wolves women’s soccer team is off to a rockier start than anticipated this season, currently sitting at 4 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw (4-3-1).

Their first two GNAC conference games ended in 0-1 loss at home to Western Washington on Sept. 19, 2015, and 1-2 loss to Montana State Billings on the road Sept. 24, 2015.
Looking for conference improvement, the squad managed a 2-2 draw at Northwest Nazarene with goals on either side of the half from Vicky Rosales (MF) at 12 minutes, and Kealakekua Makekau (MF/D) at 53 minutes.

Despite the opening league losses last week, the women’s soccer team is hopeful of placing top four in conference, securing them a spot at playoffs.
The Wolves are currently 0-2-1 in conference, but head coach Steve Ancheta does not believe their record reflects their talent.

“We are still early in the season, and we still haven’t played our best yet,” Ancheta said. “Each game we get better, so I am excited to see what the girls bring to our next match.”

Saturday Oct. 3, 2015 at 1 p.m. the Wolves will face Central Washington University (CWU) at home on the WOU Soccer Field. The CWU Wildcats are currently 2-5 overall and 0-2 in conference.
