Complete Box Score

SEATTLE (Oct. 1) ­ Michael Morris scored the earliest goal in Seattle Pacific University history and the 9th-ranked Falcons extended their unbeaten streak to seven games by beating Simon Fraser 2-0 in a non-conference men's soccer game at Interbay Stadium Saturday night.

A goal by Ross Vaillancourt (Sr., Bedford, NH) late in the second half clinched the victory for SPU (9-1-3), which has not allowed a goal in its last seven home games and four games overall. Kellen Rosten (So., Colorado Springs, Co.) made two second-half saves to earn his seventh shutout and the team's ninth.

Morris (Jr., Bothell, Wa./Blanchet) put Seattle Pacific ahead 1-0 after just 13 seconds, erasing a record of 0:23 which was set in 1990 by Brad Owen. On the first foray after the opening kickoff, Jeff Hallenbeck (So., Redmond, Wa./Inglemoor) served the ball in from the left side of the box and Morris took the ball off the bounce and pounded it past the near post.

Vaillancourt scored in his second straight game, drilling an 18-yard shot through traffic after Steve Spencer's corner kick in the 78th minute from 5 yards.

Prior to the second goal, Simon Fraser (8-2-1), ranked No. 6 in NAIA, had applied heavy pressure. Andrew Corazza forced Rosten down to his right for a save in the 75th minute and moments later Vincent Stewart's 20-yard free kick glanced off the right post.

Both teams hit the woodwork midway through the first period. Nick Letts unleashed a 12-yeard try off the right post and Lucas Barrett's 18-yard blast on the end of a quick counterattack hit the underside of the crossbar in the 26th minute.

The Falcons finished with a 9-5 advantage in corner kicks but were out-shot by the Clansmen 15-13.
