CLAREMONT, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2010) – Back on the road, the
Occidental College women's soccer team returned to their winning
ways, defeating the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens 1-0 on Wednesday

In an evenly matched game each team fired off 12 shots, but the
difference came in the 81st minute when Oxy freshman

on her toes as she turned away 10 Sagehens' shots. Six of those
came in the first half, with four additional saves in the final 45
minute period.
Oxy took six shots on goal with Minamishin leading the attack
tallying a pair as she finished with four total shots. Liz
Martin had three chances, none of which were at the cage.

one.
The defense of Season
