SEATTLE (Oct. 11) -- Two late defensive lapses
wiped-out goals by Manfredo Rendon and Andy Willis as Seattle
Pacific University's six-game men's soccer unbeaten streak was
snapped by Seattle University, 3-2 in overtime Saturday at
Championship Field.
Seattle U.'s Alex Chursky ended the game when
his 18-yard shot could not be held by SPU goalie Michael Lockwood
in the sixth minute of sudden-death overtime. The Redhawks' Bobby
McAlister had tied the score with 2 minutes, 10 seconds left in
regulation.
Seattle Pacific suffered its first conference
loss and is now 1-1-1 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference
and 4-5-2 overall. Seattle University improved to 3-0-0 and 6-4-0.
The two teams meet again Nov. 1 at Interbay Stadium.
After Seattle U. opened the scoring on
Chursky's first goal in the 30th minute, Rendon (Jr., Bellingham,
Wa./Sehome) pulled the visitors level by heading in a rebound from
point-blank range shortly after intermission.
Willis (Fr., Gig Harbor, Wa.) crashed home
another rebound in the 66th minute for his third goal of the
season. Jremy Yerkes (Jr., Gresham, Or.), whose initial shots
set-up both goals
James Ward (Jr., Salem, Or.), who had started
in goal for the Falcons, moved to midfield at halftime with
Lockwood (Fr., Wilsonville, Or.) replacing him.
Seattle Pacific, which had not lost since Sept.
8, lost forward Nick Letts (So., Dublin, Ca.) in the first half
after the starting forward collided with SU goalie Brandon Sewell
and suffered a shoulder injury.
Seattle Pacific hosts Pacific Lutheran in a
nonconference game Wednesday night at Interbay Stadium.
