Stockton, Calif. - Playing their second weekend of spring competition, the Pacific soccer team took home a pair of 2-0 victories on Sunday, April 13, defeating both Fresno State and Sonoma State. In three games this spring, the Tigers have posted three victories, outscoring their opponents 9-0.

Leading the Tigers throughout the spring and on Sunday, junior Laura King (Livermore, Calif.) posted a pair of goals, scoring a single goal in each of Pacific's two contests over the weekend. In three games, King has notched a goal in each contest.

Against Fresno State, the Tigers got on the board early, posting their first goal of the game off of the familiar foot of freshman Sammi Teramae (Kapolei, Hawaii). Teramae has posted four goals in the Tigers' three games after scoring a hat-trick in Pacific's first spring contest. With the Tigers up one, King put the contest to rest with her second goal of the spring.

In the afternoon contest for the Tigers, sophomore Kellie Nakahara (Honolulu, Hawaii) posted her first goal in the Orange and Black for Pacific, scoring early to get the Tigers out front of their competition for the third straight game. Again, King put the game away with Pacific's second goal of the game and her third of the spring.

With the Tigers posting four goals on the weekend, Pacific's defense continued to play flawlessly in the back, posting a pair of shutouts with freshman Andrea Sandin Viberg (Örnskoldsvik, Sweden) in net for the first time this spring.

The Tigers will continue spring play on Sunday, April 20, as they take on Sacramento State on the road in a single contest. The exhibition is scheduled for 12:30 pm at Sacramento State.
