BURNABY, B.C. (Sept. 17) -- Jeremy Yerkes scored with less than 11 minutes left in regulation as Seattle Pacific University salvaged a 2-2 overtime tie with Simon Fraser in a non-conference men's soccer game at Swangard Stadium Wednesday night.

Yerkes (Jr., Gresham, Or.) maneuvered past two defenders then sent a shot under Clan goalie Raegyn Hall for his third goal of the season.

The teams played the remaining 30 minutes of regulation and overtime without a goal.

Nick Letts (So., Dublin, Ca.) had staked the Falcons (1-4-1) to an early lead, scoring in the 10th minute off an assist by David Smith.

After the Clan scored twice, SPU Coach Cliff McCrath moved James Ward from goal up to forward for the remaining 36 minutes, with Michael Lockwood taking his place in the net. Lockwood made two saves in the overtime which was played in a downpour.

Simon Fraser (4-2-1), ranked No. 21 in NAIA, finished with a 22-12 advantage in shots, forcing a total of eight saves from Ward and Lockwood and another two goalward balls were cleared by defenders.

SPU, which has played its first six games on the road, hosts Montana State Billings in its home opener Friday afternoon at 4 at Interbay Stadium.
