Box Score

SALEM, Ore. – Running into a scoring machine that had racked up five goals in a game against Willamette University the day before, the George Fox University Bruins were equally unable to slow down the Warner Pacific College Knights, who cruised to an 8-2 win over the Bruins in the Capital Classic men's soccer tournament Saturday evening here at Willamette's Sparks Field.

Warner Pacific opened the scoring with a pair of goals seven and eight minutes into the game, the first on an unassisted goal from 45 yards out by Justin Coughlin and the second on a shot from Davor Lukic after a pass from Luis Galvan.  Jon Maroni got the Bruins within one with the first George Fox goal of the season, sending in a shot from two yards out near the right post after a pass from Garrett Blizzard.

The Knights then put the game away with six unanswered goals, two in the first half and four in the second half.  Coughlin added a second goal at 26:02 and Galvan scored at 32:53, both assisted by Alija Sacirovic.  In the second half, Andrew Scott scored twice and Sacirovic and Matt Radke each scored once for the Knights.  Maroni scored again for the Bruins three minutes from the end after a pass from Bret Hamilton.

Warner Pacific out-shot George Fox 22-7, including a 10-3 margin in shots on goal.  Ted Latta had one save for the Knights in goal while Danny Kamna, in his first start for the Bruins, had two.

George Fox is now 0-2 on the season while Warner Pacific is 2-1.  The Bruins return home to open their home season Friday, hosting the University of Great Falls at 4:00 p.m. at the Morse Complex Soccer Field.
