Schefter Brothers Send Falcons Past UC San Diego
September 6, 2001

SAN DIEGO (Sept. 6) -- Brothers Michael and Bobby Schefter accounted for all three goals as Seattle Pacific University squared its men's soccer season record with its second win in three days, 3-1 over UC San Diego Thursday night.

Michael Schefter (So., Yakima, Wa./West Valley) struck twice within a span of just 1 minute, 37 seconds of the second half and older brother Bobby (Sr., Yakima, Wa./West Valley) staved off the Tritons' attempted comeback with a goal with just 3:14 remaining. The Falcons, who play their first eight games on the road, finished a 6-game, 16-day trip through California and Arizona at 3-3-0.

Following a scoreless first half, Michael Schefter put SPU in front 2-0, beginning with a header from Grant Falco's (Jr., Spokane, Wa/University) corner kick at 54:14 and then adding a 10-yard drive at 55:51. Mike Pardini (Jr., Pasco, Wa.) and Erik Skipper (Sr., Hillsboro, Or./Glencoe) each assisted on the latter. Schefter has scored a team-high four goals this season.

UC San Diego (0-3-0) pulled a goal back in the 58th minute through Sean Summers and twice forced SPU goalie James Ward (Fr., Salem, Or./Sprague) to make saves. Ward then set-up the final goal with a 70-yard punt which Brent Egbert (So., Bellingham, Wa./Sehome) flicked on for Bobby Schefter to hit in stride.

Seattle Pacific finished with a 17-14 advantage in shots and Ward made four saves. UC San Diego committed 21 fouls to the Falcons' eight and the tritons were issued five yellow cautions and a red card in the 84th minute.

SPU opens Great Northwest Athletic Conference play Sept. 12 at Western Washington.
