Box Score ELLENSBURG, Wash (Sept. 13) – The Central Washington University women's soccer team earned their first win of the season defeating Dominican University of California 3-1, and in doing so, head coach Michael Farrand has won his 100^th career victory at the helm of the soccer team.

"It's just nice to get it done and over with," Head coach Michael Farrand said about the century mark. "There's been a lot of girls that have been around the program, and that have helped build this program, and they deserve just as much credit."

The win improves the Wildcats' record to 1-3 as the Penguins fall to 0-3.

The Wildcats struck first in the 36^th minute when freshman Viktoriya Vasina (Auburn, WA, Auburn Mountainview ) scored her first goal of the season. The goal was assisted by Meghan Ward (Chehalis, WA, W.F. West) and keeper Kayla Lipston (Federal Way, WA, Decatur).

Lipston had herself a day as she fended off 13 Penguin shots, six of those shots were on target. Lipston racked up five saves, as a lone Penguin shot found the back of the net.

The goal occurred in the 47^th minute when defender Peyton Jones snuck through the defense and scored.

Hadli Farrand (Ellensburg, WA, Ellensburg) put the Wildcats ahead for good in the 61^st minute when she broke through two tackles and beat the Penguin keeper.

"She is a great finisher," Farrand said. "She broke through the defense and Bailey Martoncik (Maple Valley, WA, Tahoma ) was able to find her for the go-ahead goal."

The Wildcats were able to tally 13 total shots with seven shots on goal. The offense also mustered three corner kicks on the day.

A late goal in 89^th minute by freshman Mackenzie Nolte (Marysville, WA, Marysville-Pilchuck ) gave the Wildcats added insurance in the win.

"This was a good tune up for us," Farrand explained. "We spent those last two games getting focused and to get ourselves back on track."

Central Washington University begins Great Northwest Athletic Conference play next week as archrival Western Washington University comes to town, Thursday, Sept. 18.

"We did a lot of things right together," Farrand said. "Today the girls played for each other, and I'm very proud."
