SEATTLE (Oct. 7) - Brent Egbert and Jeremy Bonner scored goals 28 seconds apart to break open Seattle Pacific University's 3-0 win over Montana State Billings in a non-conference men's soccer game at Interbay Stadium Monday night.

The Falcons (7-3-1) also got a goal from Jeremy Yerkes (So., Gresham, Or.), his team-leading sixth of the season, in extending their unbeaten string to four games going into Saturday's Great Northwest Athletic Conference showdown with Seattle University.

Dominating play but ahead only 1-0 after Yerkes scored a penalty kick in the first half, Seattle Pacific peppered Yellowjackets keeper Kevin Petriz with several crisp drives between the 58th and 65th minutes before finally breaking through.

Yerkes found Egbert (Jr., Bellingham, Wa./Sehome) unmarked in the goalmouth at 65:01 and Egbert quickly beat Petriz from 6 yards for a 2-0 lead. Egbert nearly scored again moments later, but Petriz saved his breakaway, leaving Bonner (Fr., Sammamish, Wa./Eastlake) alone for the rebound at 65:29. It was Egbert's third goal and Bonner's first.

Yerkes scored the penalty in the 38th minute after being fouled near the top of the box. He hit a firm shot past Petriz to the right corner.

SPU finished with a 14-1 advantage in shots and Petriz made six saves in all, including diving stops of Ross Vaillancourt (Fr., Bedford, N.H.) early in the second half. James Ward (So., Salem, Or.) easily handled the only Billings (4-8-0) shot of the night to earn his third shutout.

Seattle Pacific, unbeaten (4-0) at home, plays three of its next four on the road.
