Redhawks Earn Sweep of Falcons with OT Goal in Men's Soccer
October 13, 2001

SEATTLE (Oct. 13) -- A goal by Ian Chursky 10 minutes into sudden death overtime earned Seattle University a 1-0 non-conference men's soccer win over 24th-ranked Seattle Pacific University Saturday at Championship Field.

The Falcons (8-6-0) were held scoreless for the second time in four games and were swept by the Redhawks (8-4-0) for the first time since 1969. Seattle U., ranked No. 15 in NAIA, won 2-1 at Interbay Stadium Oct. 6.

Chursky's golden goal was created by a 40-yard throw into the box by Justin Miller. The ball was headed back into the middle by Nick Thurber and Chursky emerged out of a crowd to strike the ball from four yards past Falcon goalkeeper James Ward (Fr., Salem, Or./Sprague) at 100:16.

Brent Egbert (So., Bellingham, Wa.) had the best scoring chance for SPU, but his 22-yard free kick sailed just over the crossbar. SPU finished with an 8-2 advantage in corner kicks but Seattle U. had more shots, 19-11.

Seattle Pacific is still in contention for its 12th straight NCAA Division II playoff berth but has lost three of its last four. It plays its next two games on the road, beginning Thursday against Incarnate Word in San Antonio.
