Northwest University’s senior forward, Acacia Johnson, scored three goals as the Eagles shutout Northwest Christian 3-0 in Cascade Conference play on Thursday.
Johnson scored her first goal just 2-minutes, 53-seconds into the game as she took a through ball from teammate Tiffany Taylor between the NCU center backs and one touched the ball into the net. In the 10th minute, Johnson scored off a cross from Kelsey Greene from the right and finished into the upper part of the net. She then completed the hat trick at the 76:41 mark when she scored unassisted off a goalkeeper deflection from six-yards out. The goals give Johnson 11 for the season.
NU’s defense limited Northwest Christian (5-8, 1-4 CCC) to just two shots, one in each half with no shots on goal. Northwest Christians’ Kristin Fulbright made nine saves for the game with NU holding a large margin in shots with a 21-2 margin. NCU played shorthanded for the final 11 minutes of the game after a red card was issued to a Beacon player.
Acacia Johnson led NU (6-5-1, 4-0 CCC) with seven shots, five shots on goal.
