SPOKANE, Wash. - Sophomore Zach Semago (Tacoma, Wash./Bellarmine
Prep) scored the game-winner in the 101st minutes as the Puget
Sound Loggers shut down the eighth-ranked Whitworth Pirates in a
Northwest Conference men's soccer game on Saturday afternoon at
Whitworth Soccer Field in Spokane, Wash.
In the first half, neither squad was able to get too many good
shots off and when they did, the goalkeepers kept them out of the
net as UPS keeper Greg Saetrum (Boise, Idaho/Timberline) and
Whitworth keeper Brian Sherpe each made two saves. In the
second half, Saetrum added another save as the defensive kept the
pressure on both sides of the field.
With neither team able to score in regulation, the Loggers and
Pirates headed to overtime for the third straight meeting and the
fourth in the last five matches played between the two
schools. Neither team found the net in first overtime but in
the second OT, senior Taylor Hyde (Sandy, Utah/Waterford) found
Semago for the winning score at 100:40.
The Loggers will look to go 2-0 on the weekend when they head
down to Walla Walla to take on Whitman. Gametime with the
Missionaries is set for 2:30 p.m.
