SAN FRANCISCO (Sept. 9) ­ Brent Egbert scored in his third straight game, getting the game-winning goal in the 61st minute, and Seattle Pacific University extended its unbeaten run to four games with a 3-1 non-conference men¹s soccer win over San Francisco State at Cox Stadium Thursday.

The Falcons (3-1-1) also got goals from Michael Morris (So., Bothell, Wa/Blanchet) in the first half and Nick Letts (Jr., Dublin, Ca.) in the final 9 minutes as they matched their best five-game start in seven years.

Egbert (Sr., Bellingham, Wa./Sehome) took a feed from Letts, avoided a tackle in the box and beat Gators goalie Kenny Brandenburg from nine yards at 60:21. He has three goals and an assist in the last three games.

Letts put the outcome out of reach in the 82nd minute, heading home a ball from Ross Vaillancourt (Jr., Bedford, NH). Jeff Hallenbeck (Fr., Redmond, Wa./Inglemoor) also assisted on the play.

Seattle Pacific had staked an early 1-0 lead on a penalty kick by Morris. Michael Brkich had been tripped by an SFSU defender to earn the spot kick at 13:31.

San Francisco State knotted the score seven minutes later on a goal by Whitney Johnson. It was the first goal scored against SPU in the first half this season.

The Gators (1-5-0) have lost five in a row. Seattle Pacific has won three and tied once since losing its opener. It is in the midst of a seven-game, three-week road swing.

James Ward (Sr., Salem, Or) made three saves and SPU finished with a 14-8 advantage in shots and 6-4 in corner kicks. Brandenburg made six saves.

SPU opens Great Northwest Athletic Conference play Tuesday at Humboldt State before moving on to Florida for the final three games of the road trip.
