TACOMA, Wash. - Cole Peterson headed in the only goal of the game off a corner kick in the 38th minute as the University of Puget Sound Loggers edged the George Fox University Bruins 1-0 in a Northwest Conference men's soccer defensive struggle Saturday afternoon here on Peyton Field at Baker Stadium.

The Loggers broke a scoreless deadlock when Daniel Lee set up a corner kick and put the ball up along the far post.  Peterson used his 6-4 frame to rise above the crowd in front of the goal and deflect the ball past George Fox keeper Elliott Davis for a 1-0 lead at the 37:13 mark.  Neither team found the net the rest of the way.

Puget Sound took 16 shots in all, seven on goal, with Davis stopping five of them and the Bruins collecting one team save in the 50th minute.  George Fox had six total shots, two on goal with one each by Derek Buttrick and Brian Story, but Chris McDonald saved both for the Loggers to collect the shutout. 

Puget Sound held a decided advantage on corner kicks, 9-2.  Although each team picked up one yellow card, it was a cleanly-played game with only eight total fouls called, five on the Loggers and three on the Bruins.

George Fox (5-12, NWC 2-10) remains in the area to play at Pacific Lutheran University Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Puget Sound (9-7-2, NWC 6-4-2) concludes its home schedule Sunday, hosting Pacific University at 1:30 p.m.
