Chevrolet Philippines unveils its biggest dealership – Chevrolet Cebu
Chevrolet Philippines marks another milestone in its history as it introduces the latest addition to its new generation of dealerships – Chevrolet Cebu. Under the management of its New Cebu Dealer Partner - Genesis Motors Corporation (a member of the PAMOCOR Group of Companies), the newly opened dealership is set to capitalize on the great potential for growth and development in the region.
The Chevrolet showroom in Cebu.
The dealership
Chevrolet Cebu, situated at M.C. Briones St., Highway Ibabao, Mandaue City, Cebu is the biggest and most modern Chevrolet dealership in the Philippines to date. With a total lot area of 4,040 square meters of which 500 square meters have been dedicated for the Showroom & Sales Office Areas, while 2,994 square meters are specifically set aside for Service and Administration Offices. Sales facilities are fitted out to cater to customer comfort, with features like the Customer Lounge, Kiddie Corner and elegant Transaction Booths. The state-of-the-art Aftersales equipment and facilities are likewise given special importance in order to provide fast and reliable service to the Chevy clientele based in the South. Chevrolet Cebu's aftersales team aims to provide the best in customer support so that everything from the Receiving Area and the Service Area Rooms to the fourteen (14) Service Work Bays are specially created to ensure an efficient after sales service.
The team
"Chevrolet has been known globally for its automotive excellence for 100 years. And who wouldn't want to be associated with a brand that's celebrated its "ten carat diamond anniversary due to its unprecedented performance throughout the century?" It's not only rare…it's the rarest. It's just one of the reasons why we chose to put up Chevrolet." This from Chevrolet Cebu's President and CEO, Franklyn Ong. He steers the dealership along with VP & Chief Finance Officer, Emily Ong and VP & Aftersales Director, Engr. Sidney Po. Support from General Sales Management Consultant, Teofilo Del Mar; Sales Manager, Rey Lopez; Sales Administration Manager, Elvie Alcala; and Accounting Manager, Myrafe Arriola, round off Genesis Motors Corporation's roster of talented individuals driven to provide a new kind of Chevrolet experience.
The Cebu style Chevrolet
Already, plans for penetrating developing markets like Bohol, the South District of Cebu, and Siquijor are in the pipeline, while its campaign for making Chevrolet Cebu a powerhouse, from tapping local and foreign managed companies based there for business and making it a model dealership for the rest of the Chevrolet family to emulate, is naturally also in the works.
Aside from what Chevrolet Philippines has to offer, the newly opened dealership has taken the initiative to implement deals best suited to the local market. Expect to be treated to Super Low Down Payment plans in partnership with local banks, chances of winning round-trip tickets to Asian destinations and other perks like free gadgets and free fuel for Chevy purchases, just to name a few.
The friends and supporters of Chevrolet Cebu
During the grand opening last February 8, 2012, special guests and local government officials came to show their support for this new venture. Mayor Jonas Cortes was in attendance to express his well-wishes for Chevrolet's business in the years to come. Also present were the President of GM South East Asia Operations, Mr. Martin Apfel; Director for ASEAN Regional Distributors Operations, Akshay Kumar Jaising; and GM Country Representative for Philippines and GM ASEAN Senior Manager, Dante Reyes that not only affirmed their full support but likewise expressed their positive outlook for the Chevrolet brand in the Philippines as a whole. Additionally, to reiterate the partnership's strength and their support to the Genesis team, Chevrolet Philippines-TCCCI Chairman Emeritus Richard L. Lee, Marylou Tiong Lee along with TCCCI's Executive Director, Selene L. Yu were also present to witness the event.
Atty. Albert B. Arcilla, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Philippines -- The Covenant Car Company Inc. (TCCCI), exclusive importer and distributor of Chevrolet automobiles, parts and accessories in the Philippines, also extended his message: "We welcome the new Chevrolet Cebu to our nationwide family of Chevrolet dealerships. We are confident that our high expectations will be spectacularly met with this new and dedicated management team."

Eastonways folds after rising costs and arson
Posted: October 11, 2013|
FOURTEEN members of staff at Eastonways lost their jobs last week after the bus company went into liquidation.
The firm called in receivers on October 3. Vandalism, insurance costs and maintenance bills were cited as reasons to close.
Director Peter Howe said: "I bought Eastonways in 2011 and from the outset we were up against it. I decided to buy the company to save jobs for local people and keep serving the local community.
"After only three months in we were subject to an arson attack which destroyed seven vehicles and forced me to finance the vehicles, which the company could not really afford."
Kent County Council has handed the routes to Stagecoach as an interim measure.
Jeremy Cooper, commercial director for Stagecoach, said: "Stagecoach in East Kent stepped in overnight to replace bus services previously operated by Eastonways for Kent County Council. We were advised that Eastonways were unable to operate routes and we worked through the evening preparing schedules, briefing staff and servicing reserve vehicles so that we operated all of KCC's contracts the following morning.
"We expect to continue providing the routes for some months pending their re-tender."

The Allende meteorite fell on the 8th of February 1969 in Chihuahua, Mexico. Its fall was observed as a huge fireball that lit up thousands of square miles of northern Mexico and southwestern United States.
The meteorite broke up in many pieces, with a total recovered mass of 2 tonnes. The biggest pit it made is only 60cm across and 15cm deep.
The Micro-CT scan shown reveals different components of the meteorite: blue = micrometre-fine-grained rocky matrix, green = rocky chondrules up to 1mm, and yellow = small metals and sulfides less than 1mm.
All components formed in the solar nebula prior to the formation of earth, recording the conditions of early solar system formation.

Cloud Expo® Silicon Valley Early Bird Savings here!
Fundamentally, SDN is still mostly about network plumbing. While plumbing may be useful to tinker with, what you can do with your plumbing is far more intriguing. A rigid interpretation of SDN confines it to Layers 2 and 3, and that's reasonable. But SDN opens opportunities for novel constructions in Layers 4 to 7 that solve real operational problems in data centers. "Data center," in fact, might become anachronistic - data is everywhere, constantly on the move, seemingly always overflowing. Networks move data, but not all networks are suitable for all data.
In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Steve Riley, Technical Leader in the Office of the CTO at Riverbed Technology, will discuss how finding (or building) the right network, with the right applications, is still a labor-intensive task. Must it always be this way? No: for networks will soon be expressed as code. Finally, the data, the applications that process it, the networks that move it and the objects that store it can all be described by software constructs - let's call this collection a super-blob - in the hands of skilled developers. Freed from their dependence on any given location, super-blobs can move around as necessary, resting on any physical fabric that can satisfy their requirements. As requirements change, locations may change - while preserving all application states. Location-independent computing is within our grasp.

Your Question: Two top games for u so far, 1 last push vs Eng pls hurt them ! U becoming a legend ! Who would u have your back in a fight (past and present boks)? - Mike
ADRIAAN ANSWERS: Thanks for the kind words Mike. Regarding the fight question, I'm quite a relaxed guy, so I don't really get involved in those kinds of things. Having said that, if it does happen, I'd rather have one of my fellow forwards with me! Hehe.
Your Question: Great tour Strauss ! What is your nickname? - Paul
ADRIAAN ANSWERS: Hi Paul, thanks. My nickname is Atter, which I think is derived from my name. I got it a few years ago from the workers on our farm and it just stuck.
Your Question: Hi A. As die Bokke naby die doelyn kom probeer elke fwd oor die doellyn kom soos std 5 rugby.. kan ons nie bietjie iets anders doen as 1 aangee gee en grond toe gan nie..weet die grondslag word voor gele.. mar as toeskouers soek ons driee van agterspelers..nie van voorspelers nie..! – Robert Botes
ADRIAAN ANSWERS: Robert, ons kyk nie regtig na wie ons driee druk nie - wen is waarvoor ons mik. Ons wil nie te diep speel nie en probeer so na as moontlik aan die voordeellyn bly. Ek moet egter byvoeg dat manne soos Bryan en JP en Jean-hulle vanjaar al 'n paar baie lekker driee gedruk het.
Your Question: Why do you players allow the coach to undermine Springbok rugby by the way you are coached to play the game? Kicking away the ball is giving away possession and without the ball you cannot score tries. – Deon Taljaard
ADRIAAN ANSWERS: Deon, I can assure you we're not undermining Springbok rugby at all. Our main aim is to win and sometimes those wins are "ugly", sometimes not. In saying that, the kick stats are quite interesting - in our 11 tests this year, our opponents kicked more than us in eight matches.
Your Question: hi by when do you think schalk will return? Danny Solomons
ADRIAAN ANSWERS: Hopefully next year Danny, but I'm not a doctor so I can't say for sure.

A technique for "marking" integrated-circuit (IC) chips so that, when large lots of the chips are drift-tested at different temperatues, each chip can be identified positively so as to be associated with the test data accumulated for the particular chip. The technique includes forming additional resistors on each IC chip with the resistors connected in series and to a voltage supply. The resistors are timmed at the wafer stage to produce at nodal points between the resistors voltages having magnitudes which uniquely identify each particular chip, thereby to permit part-identified tests to be performed after the chips have been packaged as parts ready for shipment.
1. The method of marking and subsequently identifying each one of a large group of IC parts comprising semiconductor chips formed with integrated circuitry designed for a specific functional purpose, such marking and identifying being carried out to enable part-identified tests to be performed on the functioning of the integrated circuitry of each part, said method comprising the steps of:
forming on each chip at least one circuit element additional to said integrated circuitry;
trimming a parameter of each said additional circuit element while making measurements of an electrical value affected by said parameter;
said trimming being carried out so as to provide for each said additional circuit element an electrical value which is unique to the corresponding part;
conducting said tests to obtain a series of test data for said parts respectively;
determining said trimmed electrical values for each of the tested parts; and
storing said series of test data respectively in association with a parameter-value-generated identification of the corresponding part, thereby to permit analyses of the test data to be made and associated with the tested part respectively.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said additional circuit element is a resistor.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the measured electrical value is a voltage ratio.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one additional circuit element comprises two additional circuit elements formed on each IC chip;
electrical values associated with said circuit elements being used to identify two separate characteristics.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the electrical values for said two circuit elements are used to identify a wafer number and a die number in the particular wafer.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein multiple different electrical values are used for separate segments of each wafer.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the electrical values measured are voltage ratios.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein each chip is formed with three additional circuit elements comprising resistors, connected in series;
connecting a supply voltage to said series-connected resistors of each chip; and
making electrical voltage measurements to determine the ratios of inter-resistor nodal point voltages to said supply voltage;
said resistors being trimmed so as to provide voltage ratios identifying particular wafer numbers, and also voltage ratios identifying particular die numbers.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein both ends of the resistor string are connected to said supply voltage;
a first one of said ratios being obtained by grounding one of said nodal points and measuring the ratio of the other nodal point voltage to said supply voltage;
the other of said ratios being obtained by grounding the other nodal point and measuring the ratio of the one nodal point voltage to said supply voltage.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurements of said electrical values are made through circuit points which are also used for making connection to said integrated circuitry as part of the functional operation of said integrated circuitry.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the manufacture of integrated-circuit (IC) parts. More particularly, this invention relates to the testing of such parts at the end of the manufacturing process.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Integrated-circuit chips conventionally are packaged as completed products known as "parts". These parts generally comprise a large number of external pins through which electrical connection may be made to the circuitry on the chip. At the end of the manufacturing process, the pins of the completed parts typically are connected to automatic test equipment and given a series of electrical tests to determine the performance characteristics of the integrated circuitry. Frequently, such tests are used to "grade" the parts into commercial categories of performance capabilities, commonly identified by letters such as J, K, L, etc. U.S. Pat. No. 4,646,238 (Carlson et al) discloses how such grading fits into the computer-controlled planning of production and testing of IC parts.
Integrated circuits generally are formed on thin wafers of silicon in a series of alternating photographic and deposition processes which create hundreds and possibly thousands of identical circuits on each wafer. The wafers are processed in "lots" which typically will include 21 wafers in a so-called "boat". If, for example, each wafer included 600 IC chips or "dice", there would be 12,600 such chips in a wafer lot.
After circuit formation, the wafers are probed and each circuit powered up in order to make preliminary tests to determine which dice are non-functional and must be discarded. Frequently at this wafer stage of the process, certain elements of the integrated circuitry may be trimmed, as by laser trimming of resistors, to bring the values of such elements to within specified limits.
Thereafter, the individual dice of each wafer are separated, inspected for visual defects, and mounted in respective packages as described above, i.e. packages having a large number of external pins for making electrical connections to the integrated circuitry when the part is assembled together with other components to make a complete device. Very fine wires within each package connect these pins to bonding pads on the IC chip, which in turn make connection to corresponding points of the integrated circuitry.
After packaging, the parts are tested and graded according to their electrical performance against applicable specifications. The simplest grades may be tested only at room temperature. Higher quality grades, such as those for military and aerospace applications, generally must pass tight performance standards while being subjected to extreme environmental conditions, such as very high and very low temperatures. In addition, the critical characteristics of higher grade products often must be tested in such a way to assure that a parametric drift or temperature coefficient is not out of specifications with respect to an entire temperature range. Drift tests generally include at least three separate tests for each part, at different temperatures; sometimes as many as seven or eight separate tests may be required for each part.
When the parts are being drift-tested, it is essential to be able to establish the identity of each part in such a way as to positively associate each part with a corresponding set of test data covering different temperature conditions. Thus, as the parts are shifted from one test condition to another during a drift test, the identity of each part must in some fashion be continuously monitored or otherwise determined positively, so that errors will not be made in assigning the sequential sets of test data to particular parts.
Conventional IC test equipment frequently includes apparatus known as a "handler" into which parts to be tested are loaded for carrying out tests automatically. Prior to insertion into a handler the parts generally are carried in plastic tubes (sometimes called "sticks") which are elongate devices holding about 25 to 100 parts each, all arranged in a row. The parts are stripped from the tubes and loaded into the handler where they are physically transported through the test chamber while being brought up to the specified temperature. Each part thereafter is connected, in sequence, for a very short time to the test equipment circuitry which at high speed typically measures voltages and currents under a computer program control. The handlers include facilities to reassemble the parts back into tubes after a test run has been completed. Subsequent tests at different temperatures are carried out in the same fashion. A "test lot" for a handler typically may total 1500 parts.
The results of the computer-controlled electrical tests performed on the parts are stored in memory, and the procedures used are carried out so as to provide that the test data can in some fashion be associated with the respective parts. As noted above, for drift tests a series of readings must be made at different conditions. It is necessary that each set of such sequential readings stored in memory for a particular part always be positively associated in the memory with that same part, for otherwise the final analyses of the test data would yield faulty results.
Various techniques have been developed for establishing and/or monitoring the identity of the individual parts being tested, so as to assure that the test results for any one part are correctly associated with that part. Although such prior techniques have in some respects been effective, the overall results have not been fully satisfactory for many applications. For example, some prior techniques require that the carrying tubes have to be kept in their original sequence, and similarly that the parts be kept in their original sequence in each tube. As will be evident from the description hereafter, the present invention avoids the need for such ordering of the parts and/or tubes.
Accordingly, it is a purpose of this invention to provide improved techniques for marking and subsequently identifying IC parts as they pass through the test procedures at the end of an IC manufacturing process.
In one presently preferred embodiment of the invention, to be described in detail hereinafter, IC parts to be tested are marked for identification by a technique wherein the chips are formed with additional circuit elements which are trimmed at the wafer stage to provide a characterization unique to each part. In the specific example disclosed, three additional series-connected resistor elements are formed on each chip. The two nodal points between these three resistors are connected to bonding pads to be accessed during the wafer testing stage. During that testing stage, the two end resistors of the string are trimmed to provide at the two nodal points measurement voltages which when ratioed to a supply voltage provide a unique identification of the particular part.
When the parts subsequently are drift-tested, as in a "handler" as described above, the computer-driven testing program also measures the supply voltage and the voltages at the two resistor nodal points for each part, and records such voltages (or a corresponding calculated identification number) to be associated with the stored test data for the corresponding part. Thus, the accumulated test data are keyed positively to a correspondingly-stored identification of the particular part tested, permitting an accurate analysis of the test data to be made for all of the parts.
When all of the electrical tests have been completed, the handler may automatically reassemble the parts in the carrying tubes in accordance with the analysis of the stored test data, e.g., so as to bring together all parts meeting a common specification standard so that such parts will be ready for shipment to meet orders for the products.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide improved techniques for positively associating an integrated-circuit part with test data accumulated for such part during its manufacturing test procedures. Other objects, aspects and advantages of the invention will in part be pointed out in, and in part apparent from, the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, considered together with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing an additional set of resistors formed on an IC chip for marking and subsequently identifying each individual part; and
FIG. 2 shows a modified arrangement capable of measuring part-identification voltages through circuit points which are also used for making connection to the integrated circuitry on the chip.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the exemplary embodiment of the invention described herein is a voltage reference chip which in this case comprises a Zener diode 10 coupled to an amplifier 12 having the usual feedback resistors, and serving to produce the reference output voltage at an output terminal 14. Each chip is "marked" for subsequent identification by including on the chip three additional resistors 16, 18 and 20, formed simultaneously with the formation of the rest of the IC circuitry for the voltage reference (not shown). In the exemplary embodiment, the nominal values of these resistors were 36K, 45K and 36K respectively.
These three resistors 16, 18 and 20 are connected in series, with both ends of the string being connected to the reference output voltage (nominally 10 volts in the exemplary embodiment) appearing at output terminal 14. The two nodal points 22, 24 between the resistors are brought out through the usual bonding pads as respective circuit points 26, 28. In the final packaged part, these bonding pads are connected to respective external pins (not shown) which are otherwise unused for the voltage reference.
When the IC fabrication process reaches the end of the wafer stage, the individual integrated circuits of the wafer are powered up (as described above) and probed for test purposes, and possibly for carrying out a conventional trimming operation of elements of the integrated circuitry. As part of that procedure, the resistors 16 and 20 are trimmed to provide measured parameters unique to each chip, as will now be described, so as to "mark" each chip for subsequent identification.
This marking procedure in the disclosed embodiment comprises making voltage measurements while trimming the resistors 16 and 20 as set forth in the two steps outlined below:
1. Ground circuit point 26 and measure the voltage VOUT and the voltage at circuit point 28 to produce the ratio:
2. Ground circuit point 28 and measure the voltage VOUT and the voltage at circuit point 26 to produce the ratio:
During step (1) above, the value of resistor 20 (R20) is trimmed to produce a predetermined voltage ratio (performing the function of a code) identifying the wafer number of the particular chip being probed. This voltage ratio is employed in this particular preferred embodiment by using five voltage ratios (codes) per wafer. For example, wafer number 1 will have codes of 0.545, 0.544, 0.543, 0.542 and 0.541, with each code identifying a segment of wafer number 1 containing 120 dice. Subsequent wafers will follow the same pattern, down to 0.441 for the last segment code of wafer 21 (the last wafer of a full-boat lot of wafers). This will provide for coding of 105 wafer segments (5 segments per wafer, times 21 wafers).
During step (2) above, the value of resistor 16 (R16) is trimmed to produce a predetermined voltage ratio (again performing the function of a code) identifying the die on the wafer then being trimmed. In the specific embodiment described herein, the resistor 16 of the first good die is trimmed to provide a measured voltage ratio of 0.545. Subsequent good dice in the particular wafer segment will be trimmed to ratios 0.001 lower until 120 dice have been coded, with die number 120 being set to 0.426. Die number 121 of the wafer (this second segment of the wafer being coded by R20 as 0.544) will start the code pattern for the dice over again at 0.545, as will die numbers 241, 361 and 481. With five wafer codes per wafer, each covering 120 dice, this coding arrangement will accommodate up to 600 good dice per wafer.
As an example of the described coding arrangement, for die number 245 on wafer number 3 a voltage ratio of 0.533 will be set at circuit point 26 by appropriately trimming resistor 20, and a voltage ratio of 0.541 will be set at circuit point 28 by appropriately trimming resistor 16.
During subsequent testing of the packaged IC parts, as described above, the following formula is used (as a computer algorithm) to convert the coding (voltage ratio measurements) to an integer to use as an index variable for identifying the part to which particular test data pertains:
Part I.D. No.=120(545-1000(V26 /VOUT))+546-1000(V28 /VOUT)
V26 is the voltage at circuit point 26, and
V28 is the voltage at circuit point 28.
The part I.D. (identification) numbers as determined by this formula are stored in memory, e.g. in a hard disc, together with the drift test data associated with each such part. Thus, the complete test data, under the specified different test conditions, can be analyzed with assured identification of the parts to which the test data pertains. The results of the computer analysis of the test results can be employed to control the handler in its reassembly of the tested parts into the tubes in such a fashion that parts meeting common test specifications will be placed together in the same tube(s) for subsequent shipment to customers.
It will be seen that this marking technique avoids any need for assuring that the individual parts are positioned in any particular order, either in the handler or in their carrying tubes. Further, the parts need not be loaded into the handler directly from carrying tubes, and can instead be loaded in random fashion, as in a loading procedure known as "bowl feed".
As noted above, the measured electrical voltages at the circuit points 26, 28 are taken out through otherwise-unused pins of the packaged part (i.e. pins which are not necessary for making connection to the functional integrated circuitry of the part). The marker technique disclosed herein can however be used with parts where all of the pins are otherwise assigned, as by multiple use of certain pins, as permitted by the nature of the particular integrated circuitry of the part.
FIG. 2 shows an arrangement somewhat like that of FIG. 1, wherein the device output pins 30, 32 provide "VOUT (FORCE)" and "VOUT (SENSE)" voltages respectively. Bridged across these pins is an internal trimmable resistor 34 formed with the other integrated circuitry. The customer must connect the pins 30 and 32 together, for proper operation of the device, although the connection can be made at a remote point where an accurate voltage is needed. However, for part-identification purposes the pins are unconnected, and the additional resistor 34 is trimmed (at the wafer stage) to produce a predetermined voltage ratio unique to the part, as:
Accordingly, although specific preferred embodiments of the invention have been disclosed herein in detail, it is to be understood that this is for the purpose of illustrating the invention, and should not be construed as necessarily limiting the scope of the invention since it is apparent that many changes can be made by those skilled in the art while still practicing the invention claimed herein.

As per sources, Android has been termed as the top smartphone platform in Q4 2010; however a new report from Gartner is disputing the claim.
Gartner states that with the help of Symbian-based products by Fujitsu and Sharp, and legacy products from Sony Ericsson and Samsung, Symbian had barely edged out Android.
Gartner claims that Android had grown 888.8% in the year 2010 with 67 million units sold, which obviously made it the number-two smartphone platform and not one. Whereas, Nokia's Symbian with 111.6 million units sold in 2010 still continued to be on the first place.
However it was not growing fast enough to keep up with the exploding smartphone market. This was the reason why it dropped from 46.9% market share in 2009 to 37.6% in 2010.
Also besides Android in 2010 was Apple's iOS which happened to catch around with RIM's BlackBerry OS, with almost 15.7% market share and 46.6 million units sold in comparison to RIM's 16% share and 47.5 million units sold.
It is expected that Symbian's market share will surely drop some more in the coming time. Nokia CEO Stephen Elop is said to have announced radical changes and said that Nokia was on its verge of embracing Microsoft's mobile platform, Windows Phone 7.

Key points from Tuesday's speech to analyze this week and break down for your community.
A few points from President Obama's State of the Union speech that you should get reader comment on this week, and in the months to come:
-- Much was made over jobs and how the economy has started to come back from recession. How many of the "more than 1 million private sector jobs created last year" were in your area? Is hiring picking up? Do your unemployed readers feel as optimistic about job creation as the president did last night?
-- Is your community one that could benefit from the clean-energy jobs touted in the speech, or be hurt by cuts to oil-industry subsidies?
-- What do local teachers say about the president's pledge to promote innovation and education? What concerns do they have about the federal spending cuts mentioned in the same speech? Can Race to the Top work?
-- Do your readers think high-speed Internet for the nation is a worthwhile way to spend federal money? Do they believe the government will cut back on spending or be more transparent with their work online?
See what your state's senators and congressmen and -women had to say about the speech at the bottom of this page.

DIY vs. Buy: Should I Make My Own Spiced Rum?

Pacific Slips Past Bearcats in Overtime, 2-1
Desautels Scores a Goal for Willamette
FOREST GROVE, ORE. -- McKenna Davidson of Pacific University scored a goal with 1:02 left in the first overtime period to send the Boxers to a 2-1 victory over visiting Willamette University in a Northwest Conference women's soccer game on Saturday, Oct. 6. Davidson scored from about six yards out after receiving a short pass after a corner kick.
Pacific upped its record to 5-3-3 overall, 3-3-1 in the NWC. Willamette fell to 4-6-1 overall, 2-4-1 in the NWC. Three of Willamette's NWC games have gone to overtime, with the Bearcats earning a 1-1-1 record in those games.
During the first half, Willamette built up a 9-2 advantage in total shots, including 3-0 in shots on goal. Despite having more offensive opportunities, the Bearcats were unable to hit the net, as Brittany Hartmann registered five save for Pacific, and the score remained 0-0 at the break.
The Boxers took a 1-0 lead early in the second half when Sarah Tuffey scored from a few yards out at 46:45. Anna Richardson received an assist for her crossing pass that set up the goal.
Willamette equalized at 62:38 on a goal by Sarah Desautels (So., F, Snohomish, WA/Glacier Park HS). She scored unassisted on a shot from 20 yards away.
Neither team scored during the remainder of regulation, but both goalies earned key saves to keep the score tied.
Hartmann of Pacific stopped two shots by Paige Lancourt (Jr., MF, Eagle, ID/Eagle HS) just 30 seconds apart at 65:41 and 66:11. Later in the game, goalkeeper Nicole Price (Jr., Auburn, WA/Thomas Jefferson HS) registered saves on Chandler Bowen at 84:39, Tuffey at 86:14 and Anna Richardson at 87:50.
The Bearcats and the Boxers prepared for overtime.
Pacific outshot Willamette 5-1 during the sudden-death overtime period. Tuffey took the first three shots, when one going wide, one saved by Price and one blocked by the WU defense. Richardson also shot wide, before Ashland Bernard (So., F, Kirkland, WA/Juanita HS) of Willamette forced Hartmann to make a save at 95:43.
The Boxers scored the winning goal after earning a corner kick at 98:49. Shortly after the corner Caitlin Castillo made a short pass to Davidson, who shot in to the goal from inside the 6-yard goalie box.
Willamette finished the game with a 17-14 edge in total shots and a 9-8 margin in shots on goal. Hartmann recorded eight saves for the Boxers, while Price achieved six saves for the Bearcats. Pacific gained a slim 4-3 margin in corner kicks.
The Bearcats will play again on Sunday, Oct. 7, when they are scheduled to host Pacific Lutheran University at Sparks Field. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. (PDT).
