ASHLAND – Multnomah goalkeeper Jennifer Alvillar put her stamp on the game from end line to end line in a 2-0 Cascade Conference-opening win against Southern Oregon on Friday afternoon at Raider Stadium.

Alvillar made seven saves to keep the score tied until her teammate, Annika Rahf, scored a long free kick for the go-ahead goal in the 81st minute. In the 84th, the keeper trekked down field to take a penalty kick that she lined under the crossbar, sealing the first ever victory for the Lions (3-2-2 overall) over the Raiders (3-2-0).

Multnomah only generated one shot before Rahf's free kick, which she lined up near the left sideline 25 yards up the field and placed perfectly inside the right post.

Alvillar had a few acrobatic saves among her haul. The most improbable of the bunch saw her dive as Frida Vargas approached full-speed on a breakaway and pick the ball off Vargas' foot without making contact in the box. The shutout was her fourth of the season, and the goal was her first.

The Raiders had last been blanked at home early in the 2021 season. Vargas led them with two shots on goal.

They're at Raider Stadium again at 11 a.m. Sunday to face Warner Pacific, which lost its CCC opener 6-0 at Oregon Tech.
