BURNABY, B.C. – Kelsey Jenkins converted a 20-yard free kick with less than eight minutes to play Thursday, lifting 13th-ranked Seattle Pacific to a 2-1 women's soccer victory over Simon Fraser in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference rematch at Terry Fox Field.

SPU sophomore Brittany Langdon (Irvine, Calif.) opened the scoring at 15:59 on a put-back of a blocked Brandi Hamre (Bremerton, Wash./Central Kitsap HS) free kick for her fourth goal of the season.

After the Clan tied the game 1-1 at 23:31 on a header by Lauren Lachlan, neither team scored for over 59 minutes. Jenkins (Kent, Wash./Ketwood HS) ended that lengthy scoreless stretch at 82:41 with her fourth goal of the year. That was the fourth career game-winning goal for the junior midfielder.

Defending conference champion SPU (11-1-2) extended its lead in the standings to five points, improving to 8-1-1 in GNAC play for 25 points. Second-place Western Washington tied Central Washington 1-1 on Thursday and has 20 points with a 6-2-2 record.
