TACOMA, Wash. - Two first half goals was all the Puget Sound
Loggers needed to conclude the season with a 2-0 win over the
Willamette Bearcats in a Northwest Conference men's soccer game on
Saturday afternoon on Peyton Field at Baker Stadium in Tacoma,
Wash.
Puget Sound scored for the first time in the ninth minute when
Kyle Johnson (Bremerton, Wash.) crossed a ball in from the
upper-left corner of the box and Kyle Benson (Lynnwood,
Wash./Kamiak) was on the receiving end, booting the ball in for an
early 1-0 lead. In the 30th minute, the Loggers struck again
as Benson fed a ball in to Chris Shaw (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho/Coeur
d'Alene Charter) and Shaw finished near the right post for a 2-0
win.
Both squads went on the defensive in the second half, as WU
keeper Mark Bennett and UPS keeper Greg Saetrum (Boise,
Idaho/Timberline) each made a pair of saves in the final 45
minutes. The Loggers outshot Willamette, 12-8, and held a 7-1
advantage in corner kicks.
The Loggers conclude the 2008 season with a record of 10-7-2
overall and 8-4-2 in NWC play.
