Complete Box Score

SEATTLE (Oct. 14) ­ Jeff Hallenbeck struck for two second-half goals as 9th-ranked Seattle Pacific University came from behind to extend its home unbeaten string to 11 games with a 3-1 non-conference men's soccer win over Notre Dame de Namur (Ca.) Friday night at Interbay Stadium.

Matt Kemper (So., Colorado Springs, Co.) headed home the go-ahead goal in the 62nd minute for the Falcons (10-2-3), who have won three of their last four.

Hallenbeck (So., Redmond, Wa./Inglemoor) got his first collegiate multi-goal game and constantly created problems for the Argonauts (8-8-1) defense, firing seven shots.

He brought SPU level at 1-1 early in the second half, taking a through ball from Ross Vaillancourt (Sr., Bedford, NH) and slamming his 18-yard shot off an onrushing NDNU keeper David Montgomery and into the net.

Kemper's goal came 8 minutes later. A left-wing cross from Nick Letts (Sr., Dublin, Ca.) found Kemper unmarked in front and his crisp header went to the lower right corner.

During a downpour, Hallenbeck clinched the victory, drilling the ball under Montgomery from 10 yards at 78:01. It was his fourth goal of the season. Michael Morris (Jr., Bothell, Wa./Blanchet) had the assist.

Seattle Pacific allowed its first goal at home when Notre Dame opened the scoring in the 27th minute. Anton Del Rosario curled a 22-yard free kick into the upper right corner.

The Falcons played without Andy Willis, the Great Northwest Athletic Conference scoring leader, who had accumulated five cautions.

SPU out-shot NDNU 19-7 and held a 9-7 edge in corners.

The Falcons resume GNAC play next Saturday at Humboldt State.
