SEATTLE (Oct. 10) - Sarah Martinez' second half goal made her Seattle Pacific University's  all-time career leader in points and kept No. 2 SPU's perfect record intact, as the Falcons beat Western Oregon 1-0  in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference women's soccer match Wednesday night at Interbay Stadium.

The senior forward took a feed from Shannon Oakes in the 52nd minute,  cut back, and slotted the ball past WOU keeper Kelsie Blachly to the left post.
