Complete Box Score

SEATTLE (Sept. 29) ­ Scoring two second-half goals, James Coggan lifted 8th-ranked Seattle Pacific University to its sixth straight win, 2-0 over Regis in a non-conference men's soccer game Friday night at Interbay Stadium.

It was the first shutout in five games and fifth overall for the Falcons (9-2-0), who now play their next three on the road.

After 50 fruitless minutes of trying pry open the Rangers' defense, Seattle Pacific finally broke the scoring ice shortly after intermission.

Andy Willis (Sr., Gig Harbor, Wa.) weaved his way across the top of the box, drawing the last defender away from Coggan (Jr., San Jose, Ca./Valley Christian), who then took a short feed and blasted a 15-yard shot inside the left post.

Coggan's second goal and fourth of the year sealed the verdict with 2:05 remaining. A long free kick from Josh Burnside (Fr., Black Diamond, Wa./Kennedy) was nodded down by Jeff Hallenbeck (Jr., Redmond, Wa./Inglemoor) for Coggan to finish from 5 yards.

The Falcons kept Regis keeper Trevor Steege busy, peppering him with 25 shots, requiring 10 saves. Alec Nelson of SPU twice forced Steege to make reaction stops, including a point-blank blast with 10 minutes left.

The Rangers tested SPU goalie Kellen Rosten (Jr,, Colorado Springs, Co./Doherty) with six shots but he needed to make only one routine save.

The loss extended the Regis (2-8-1) winless streak to six games.

SPU returns to action Thursday night at UC-Colorado Springs.
