Kinzel's Two Goals Spark SPU Soccer Win
September 4, 2001

POMONA, Calif. (Sept. 4) -- Joe Kinzel's first two goals of the season sparked Seattle Pacific University to a season-best offensive display as the Falcons defeated Cal Poly Pomona 4-1 in a non-conference men's soccer game Tuesday at Kellogg Field.

Michael Schefter (So., Yakima, Wa/West Valley) and Grant Falco (Jr., Spokane, Wa./University) also scored as SPU snapped a three-game losing string and beat the Broncos for the ninth time in 10 meetings.

Seattle Pacific (2-3-0) struck early and mounted a 3-0 lead before Cal Poly (0-3-1) answered. Kinzel (So., Shoreline, Wa./Shorewood) scored the first of his goals in the 10th minute from 15 yards. Schefter notched his second goal of the season at 36:45 on a lofted shot which caromed off the hand of CPP goalie Barrett Williams. Falco headed in a cross from Andy Sather (Fr., Liberty Lake, Wa./Ferris) in the 57th minute.

After the Broncos pulled goal goal back through Cherif Guirguis, Kinzel added an insurance goal at 75:35 off an assist by Falco.

James Ward (Fr., Salem, Or./Sprague) made two saves to earn his second win of the season in goal. The Falcons finished with a 10-7 edge in shots.

SPU, which had lost each of its games to teams currently ranked in the NCAA Division II's top 12, completes the California portion of its eight consecutive road games Thursday night at UC San Diego.
