Box Score

TACOMA, Wash. - Down 2-0 with 17 minutes left in regulation, the George Fox University Bruins rallied to tie the game, only to see it slip away in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes in Northwest Conference men's soccer action Saturday afternoon here at the PLU Soccer Field.

After a scoreless first half, Mike Ferguson put the Lutes on the board in the 58th minute. Henrik Oiseth started the play with a pass to Erik Gracey, who passed from the wing to Ferguson, who struck with his left from eight yards out. The Lutes increased their lead to 2-0 on Oiseth's first goal of the season in the 65th minute as Derek MacLean's long throw in went to Gracey, who flicked the ball to Oiseth for a volley from 20 yards.

The Bruins got back in the match in the 73rd minute when Garrett Blizzard scored on a header from four yards out, and they knotted it at 2-2 on Kyle Story's goal in the 88th minute. Story took Blizzard's long pass on the left side, touched the ball to his right foot, and bent a shot around PLU goalkeeper Andrew Croft.

The Lutes got the game-winner eight minutes into the first overtime when Ferguson took a free kick from 25 yards out on the right side, bending it around the defensive wall and into the upper left corner of the goal past George Fox goalkeeper Jake Maguire. It was Ferguson's 10th goal of the season.
