Box Score

SALEM, Ore. - In their first and only non-conference road game of the season, the George Fox University Bruins tied the score with eight minutes left in regulation, then battled the home-standing Corban College Warriors to a 2-2 double-overtime standoff in men's soccer action Thursday afternoon here at Warrior Field.

George Fox struck first in the 19th minute when Matt Gurlides gathered a rebound off Corban goalkeeper Aaron Franklin and rifled a shot into the back of the net for his second goal of the season. The Warriors knotted the game in the 39th minute when James Young gathered a ball at the midfield stripe and lofted a shot from 55 yards out toward the Bruin net. With Corban's Tyler Grove running onto the ball, George Fox keeper Kyle Putnam misplayed the ball and allowed it to roll into the goal for the game-tying score.

Corban took the lead in the 77th minute when Andrew Brown struck a corner kick towards the goal and Grove headed home his first goal of the season. With the clock winding down to the last ten minutes of regulation, George Fox's Keith Marshall - brother of Corban senior Scott Marshall - flipped a throw-in over the out-stretched arms of Franklin to Ryan MacKenzie, who headed the ball in for the tying goal and his second score of the season in the 82nd minute.

Each team had numerous chances to end the game in both extra periods, but neither team could crack the net in the final 20 minutes. It was the second straight tie between the two teams, who last met in 2001 when the game ended in a 5-5 tie, snapping a streak of 13 games in a row that the Bruins had won in the series.

Franklin ended with four saves, while George Fox's goalkeeping duo of Putnam and Jake Maguire combined for nine saves, three by Putnam in 45 minutes and six by Maguire in 65 minutes.

George Fox (2-0-1) returns home Saturday to take on Northwest Christian College at 2:30 p.m., while Corban (1-2-1) visits cross-town rival Willamette University Tuesday at 7 p.m.
