Box Score

NEWBERG, Ore. - Midfielder Erich Hangartner assisted on all three George Fox University first-half goals, one short of the school record for assists in a game, and the Bruin defense posted its second straight shutout in a 4-0 win over the Walla Walla College Wolves in a non-conference men's soccer game Monday afternoon here at Morse Field.

The Bruins dented the scoreboard just 5:31 into the game when Ryan MacKenzie took a throw-in from the left sideline by Hangartner, pivoted, and hooked a 30-yarder into the right corner of the net. Hangartner passed from the left corner to Matt Gurlides angling to the middle of the box from the right for another score at 23:10. The Bruins' final score of the opening half came as Hangartner raced down the left sideline and crossed to Tony Zamora in the center of the box for a goal at the 31:01 mark.

The early three-goal lead was more than enough for the Bruins' stellar defense, which allowed only seven shots by the Wolves all game and only four on goal. Jake Maguire worked the net for the Bruins in the first half and had three saves while getting the win to go to 2-0, and Kyle Putnam had one save in the second half in preserving the shutout.

George Fox added its final goal 1:44 from the end when Dan Potter passed to Bret Hamilton on the left side of the box, who drove to the right of keeper Tim Lo and drilled it home. The Bruins took 36 shots, 21 on goal, with Lo stopping 17 of them.

George Fox (2-0) plays its first road game Thursday when the Bruins visit Corban College in Salem at 5 p.m. The next game for Walla Walla (0-1) is Saturday night at Willamette University in Salem at 8 p.m.
