SEATTLE (Sept. 1) ­ An early goal by James Coggan was sufficient to keep 19th-ranked Seattle Pacific University undefeated in men's soccer with a 1-0 non-conference win over San Francisco State Saturday night at Interbay Stadium.

It was the seventh win in the last eight home games for the Falcons (2-0-1), who handed the Gators (2-1-0) their first loss.

Although the visitors finished with 9-8 edge in shots, none required a save from SPU keeper Kellen Rosten (Sr., Colorado Springs, Co.), who notched his 18th career shutout.

Coggan (Sr., San Jose, Ca.) scored his second goal of the season in the 10th minute. After Jeff Hallenbeck's (Sr., Redmond, Wa./Inglemoor) initial drive was batted down by SFSU goalie Ezra Mendoza, Coggan corralled it and put the ball in the net from 4 yards.

All three of Mendoza's saves came off Hallenbeck, who was credited with an assist.

It was the second straight shutout for the Seattle Pacific defense, which had earlier gone eight games without holding an opponent scoreless.

The Falcons host Sonoma State Monday afternoon at 1 p.m.
