Four SPU Players Cleared for Tuesday Men's Soccer Match
October 9, 2006

PHOENIX (Oct. 9) ­ Four of the six Seattle Pacific University men's soccer players involved in Saturday's two-car collision have been medically cleared for Tuesday's game at Grand Canyon.

Coach Cliff McCrath said that Michael Morris (Sr., Bothell, Wa./Blanchet) is still suffering from the effects of the three-car crash which sent Morris and five teammates to the hospital before being discharged later that night. Morris will not play.

Top scorer James Coggan (Jr., San Jose, Ca./Valley Christian) is questionable but may be in uniform.

McCrath said Coggan is experiencing pain and stiffness in his neck and shoulders. Morris is the Falcons' No. 2 scorer.

Nate Elmenhurst (Jr., Bothell, Wa./Woodinville), Jono Henness (So., Casa Grande, Az.), Drew Macha (Jr., Eugene, Or./Marist) and Andy Willis (Sr., Gig Harbor, Wa.) are available for the game. All participated in Monday's practice session.

Seattle Pacific is ranked No. 6 in NCAA Division II and had won seven in a row before Saturday's game with Hawaii Pacific was cancelled as a result of the accident.
