SEATTLE (Sept. 29) -- Bob Schefter's goal sparked a three-goal outburst in a span of less than five minutes early in the first half and Seattle Pacific University proceeded to post its sixth straight win, opening Great Northwest Athletic Conference play with a 6-0 defeat of Northwest Nazarene Saturday at Interbay Stadium.

The Falcons (1-0-0, 7-3-0) got a goal and an assist from Grant Falco (Jr., Spokane, Wa./University), Erik Skipper (Sr., Hillsboro, Or./Glencoe) and Joe Kinzel (So., Shoreline, Wa../Shorewood) while goalies James Ward (Fr., Salem, Or./Sprague) and Adrian Cravalho (Jr., Mililani, Hi./Kamehameha) split the shutout.

Manfredo Rendon (Fr., Bellingham, Wa./Sehome) and David Smith (Fr., Corvallis, Or.) added second-half scores for SPU, which finished with a 33-2 advantage in shots. Smith has scored three goals in the last four games.

Schefter (Sr., Yakima, Wa./West Valley) opened the scoring in the 12th minute on a header from Mike Pardini's (Jr.. Pasco, Wa.) corner kick.

Pardini had two assists. Falco and Kinzel found the net at 14:10 and 16:11, respectively, for a 3-0 lead. Falco, Kinzel and Skipper, who returned to the lineup after missing a game with an ankle injury, each have four goals this season.

Brett O'Conner made six saves for the Crusaders (0-2-0, 1-10-0) in the first period and Paul Cornelius had three in the second half.

Seattle Pacific hosts Cal State Bakersfield Tuesday night at 7 and then resumes GNAC play Oct. 6 versus Seattle University.
