PORTLAND, Ore. - The Hawks travelled to Portland to take on the Cavaliers of Concordia University in the opening round of the NAIA Women's Soccer National Championships. The Hawks faced the Cavaliers earlier in the year and lost 2-1. Today the Cavaliers would see the same results, beating the Hawks by a score 3-1 and advancing to Decatur, Ala. 
After playing most of the first half in a scoreless affair Tebbs (Bend, Ore.) found the net with a feed from teammate Kelton McFadden (Boise, Idaho) in the 29th minute of action. McFadden passed the ball through the middle of the field where Tebbs turned a 20-yard low strike outside the right reach of HNU goalkeeper Sabel McGuire (a Leandro, Calif.).
 
Despite being outshot 11 to 4 in the half, the Hawks were able to answer before the break as Maria Gonzalez (Pittsburg, Calif.) squared the score at 1-1 with a 15-yard dart from the left side and into the far post after receiving the ball from fellow forward Nikol Molano (Concord, Calif.). With 37 seconds remaining in the opening stanza, Tebbs would strike again, boosting CU to a 2-1 lead with an 18-yard blast after an assist from Jessica Ramback (Mill Creek, Wash.).
 
Tebbs provided the game's final with even less time to spare on the clock as she buried a header into the opposite post with the game clock at 89:33.
 
For the match, Concordia outshot Holy Names 19 to 8 and created six corner kick opportunities while limiting the visiting Hawks to just one such chance. Maguire tallied a game-high eight saves in the outcome while CU counterpart grabbed a single save while allowing one goal in the complete-game win.
 
Apart from the goal by Gonzalez, Eric Udell and Brittanie Perez paced the HNU attack as each player registered a pair of shot attempts.
