Complete Box Score

SEATTLE (Oct. 16) ­ A goal by Reece Miles with 18 minutes left lifted Simon Fraser to a 2-1 win over Seattle Pacific University in a non-conference men's soccer game at Interbay Stadium Monday night.

The loss was only the second in the last 10 games for the Falcons (11-4-0), ranked No. 6 in NCAA Division II.

After Seattle Pacific had pulled even and began to take control of possession, the Canadians counterattacked quickly, with Miles cracking an 18-yard shot to the left post at 71:43.

Colin Rigby (Sr., Mercer Island, Wa.) had equalized for Seattle Pacific in the 64th minute, heading in his sixth goal of the season and the fourth in as many games. A free kick from the left win was flicked on to Daniel Carpenter (So., Santa Cruz, Ca.), whose short cross found Rigby 6 yards from the far post.

Simon Fraser (4-6-3) had opened the scoring in the 20th minute. Scott McEachern nodded home a corner kick from Ljubomir Acimovic.

The Falcons, coming off a win over No. 15 Seattle University, did not generate much offense in the first half. Still, they nearly tied it on a 25-yard free kick by Josh Burnside which Clan goalie Thomas Lindley batted off the right post.

SPU finished with an 11-9 edge in shots and 10-3 in corner kicks.

Michael Morris returned after missing two games with a concussion sustained in an Oct. 7 car accident, only to be ejected with 4:21 remaining in the game.

Seattle Pacific's final regular season home game is Friday night against Western Washington.
