MALIBU, Calif. (Oct. 26, 2003) - Junior midfielder Walker Loseno scored the lone goal in Gonzaga University women's soccer 1-0 upset over No. 11 Pepperdine University on Sunday afternoon. The win gave the Bulldogs a two-game West Coast Conference win streak, the longest in program history, and marked the first win for Gonzaga over a ranked opponent. The Bulldogs improved to 10-7 (2-3, WCC), while the Waves dropped to 12-5 (2-3 WCC).

Loseno scored early for Gonzaga, giving a 1-0 advantage at the 4:43 minute mark. Junior midfielder Sarah Hawkins was credited with the assist. The match remained scoreless for the rest of the game.

Reminiscent of Friday's lopsided shot tally (26-6, Loyola Marymount University), Pepperdine drastically outshot Gonzaga 23-5. The Waves also outnumbered the Bulldogs in corner kicks 7-1, and shots on goal 7-2.

Sophomore goalkeeper Ashley Haugen recorded her fourth shutout of the season for Gonzaga with seven saves. Pepperdine's Anna Picarelli had one save for the game.

Gonzaga would go on to finish the season 11-8-0 overall, 3-4-0 in the West Coast Conference which was good for fifth place. It was the first winning season for the program which was started in 1991. Head coach Shannon Stiles was named the WCC Coach of the Year while Annie Hawkins was a first-team All-WCC selection. Ashley Haugen earned second team honors while Beth Drollinger and Sarah Hawkins were honorable mention selections.
