SEATTLE (May 29) - Nick Westendorf, the top scorer for Vancouver's Evergreen High School, has signed a scholarship agreement to play soccer at Seattle Pacific University beginning this fall.

Westendorf was named the Greater St. Helens League offensive co-MVP after helping Evergreen win its third title in four years in 2003. He scored 11 goals and added 11 assists this season for the Plainsmen, who advanced to the West Central Bi-District playoffs.

Westendorf's club, Westside Metros, coached by John Bain, won the Oregon state cup in both 2002 and '03. They now advance to the regional tournament in Hawaii.

Westendorf is the third recruit signed by Coach Cliff McCrath. SPU, a five-time NCAA Division II champion, returns eight starters from a team which went 11-6-2 last season.
