SEATTLE (June 14) ­ Brandon Crutchfield and Jordan Dettmer of state 4A champion and nationally-ranked Snohomish High School are among five men's soccer recruits committed to playing for Seattle Pacific University next fall.

Completing the cast of incoming freshmen are Josh Burnside of Black Diamond and Kennedy High School, Alec Nelson of Lynnwood's Meadowdale and Doug Whitney of Edmonds-Woodway.

Crutchfield scored 14 goals and assisted on 17 more for the Panthers (20-1-0), who finished ranked No. 4 in the nation. Dettmer totaled six goals and seven assists.

Crutchfield and Dettmer, both all-Wesco selections, join another Snohomish graduate, Justin Abel, as newcomers to SPU. Abel, who will be a junior, transferred from Saint John's this past winter.

Nelson led Meadowdale in assists with 14 and Whitney scored four goals for Edmonds-Woodway. Both were all-Wesco and club teammates of Crutchfield on the Northwest Nationals Pharaohs, state champions in 2005 and runners-up this year.

Burnside led the Lancers with 11 goals and six assists. Kennedy took fourth place in the state 3A championships. He was a first team all-Seamount King Division selection and played for the Federal Way Celtic, state finalists in '05 and semifinalists in '06.

Seattle Pacific advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division II tournament in 2005, finishing 15-3-3, and lost only two seniors to graduation. Next season opens Aug. 26 against Chico State at Interbay Stadium.
