SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – The Rocky Mountain College women's soccer team dominated the action, but needed a late goal to claim a 1-0 win at Northwest Christian on Saturday night.
 
Rocky (9-3, 5-2 CCC) had several chances before Sami Heimer broke through in the 86th minute. Heimer got her head on a corner kick played in by Lauryn Gamache on the team's 22nd shot of the game.
 
The Battlin' Bears put 10 of those 22 shots on goal with the first nine being stopped by the Northwest Christian (1-10, 1-8 CCC) keeper. The late breakthrough allowed Rocky to rebound from Friday's game in which they allowed two goals in the final five minutes.
 
After taking the lead, Rocky surrendered a corner kick that the Beacons turned into a header that went wide of target. The Battlin' Bears were then able to run out the clock without allowing another chance.
 
Gamache led Rocky with six shots while Amber Pearson took five shots. Both players had three shots on goal.
 
Northwest Christian only took five shots in the game and Rocky held a 7-4 edge in corner kicks.
 
Maia Wetzel made one save in securing her seventh win and third shutout of the season.
 
The Battlin' Bears have four games remaining in the regular season with two of those at home next weekend. They welcome Warner Pacific to Wendy's Field on Friday at 3 p.m.
