The Highline Thunderbirds scored three goals in the first 28 minutes and went on to shutout Lower Columbia 4-0 in women's NWAC soccer on Saturday October 14th in Longview.

McKenzie Buell got the scoring started with an unassisted goal at the 13 minute mark.  Jewel Boland then scored two goals within a two minute span at 26' and Highline was able to control the match.

Lower Columbia did not back down after the early deficit and they played the T-Birds tough the rest of the way.  Kaci-Lyn Navarro added a goal at 75' to cap the scoring on a bright sunny day in Longview.

LCC was led by the defensive efforts of Chloe Brimhall and goal keeper Kennedy Werner.

Werner had nine saves for LCC.  The T-Birds out shot the Red Devils 19- 5.
