SALEM, Ore. - Senior Kyle Johnson (Bremerton, Ore.) scored in
the 17th minute as the Puget Sound Loggers held off the Willamette
Bearcats, 1-0, in a Northwest Conference men's soccer match on
Saturday afternoon in Salem, Ore.
Johnson's goal came following a pass from freshman Eric
Laukkanen (Forest Grove, Ore.) as Johnson fired in the shot from
about five yards out on the left side of the goal. In the
end, that was the only shot that would matter though both offenses
gave it their best effort.
Logger keeper Greg Saetrum (Boise, Idaho/Timberline) was solid
in net, making 10 saves to collect the shutout as the Bearcats out
shot Puget Sound 18-10. Mark Bennett was strong for
Willamette as well, making seven saves and allowing the one goal in
the losing effort.
The Loggers return to Tacoma next Wednesday for a home match
against Pacific Lutheran. Game time with the Lutes is set for
3:30 p.m. on Peyton Field at Baker Stadium in Tacoma, Wash.
