NEWBERG, Ore. - Gaining the only goal in an otherwise defensive
battle, junior Chris Shaw (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho/Coeur d'Alene
Charter) led the Puget Sound Loggers past the George Fox Bruins,
1-0, in a Northwest Conference men's soccer match on Sunday
afternoon in Newberg, Ore.
The Loggers' break came in the 11th minute when Shaw was able to
fire a shot past GFU keeper Jake Maguire for the early 1-0 lead and
the two defenses shut down the opposing offenses for the final 79
minutes.
Senior Greg Saetrum (Boise, Idaho/Timberline) had an outstanding
match in his first start since Sep. 19, making five saves on 10
George Fox shots to collect the shutout and lower his GAA to
1.38. Maguire made two saves for the Bruins, while allowing
the one Logger goal, to take the loss.
Puget Sound held a 7-4 advantage on corner kicks and was
whistled five times for offsides and they tried to maintain
pressure on the Bruin defense.
The Loggers return to the pitch on Oct. 11 when they play host
to Pacific Lutheran, beginning at 2:30 p.m. on Peyton Field at
Baker Stadium in Tacoma, Wash.
