PARKLAND, Wash. – David Rickey gave George Fox University an early lead with the Bruins' first goal  after five straight games being of shut out, but the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes exploded for five goals thereafter to take a 5-1 win in Northwest Conference men's soccer action Saturday afternoon here at the PLU soccer field.

The Bruins picked up their first score since a 4-1 loss at Trinity Lutheran College on Sept. 4 when Rickey raced through the defense to latch onto a Sean Jany pass and slot the ball under PLU keeper Brian Kostol from 10 yards out.  It was Rickey's first goal of the season, but it would be the only shot on goal that Kostol would face all day.

The score stayed that way for 15 minutes until Daniele Zaccagnini scored the first of his two goals in the game, settling a pass from Surafel Wodajo just outside the box and hitting a bullet inside the left post for his fourth goal of the season. The Lutes made it 2-1 at 37:09 when Lucas McCallum ran onto Mark Lee's pass and scored from 10 yards out for his third score of the season.

Zaccagnini tallied his second goal of the game and fifth of the season 11 minutes into the final half, running onto a through ball from Chad Kearns and slipping it under Bruin keeper Elliott Davis. Kearns made it 4-1 at 64:03, heading home Giancarlo Santoro's cross from the right wing for his conference-leading 10th goal of the season. Mohamed Bouzacraft scored his first goal on a penalty kick at 76:00 after Brenda Cohen was fouled in the box to finish off the scoring.

The Lutes finished with 21 total shots, including 14 on goal, while the Bruins managed eight shots.  Davis played 77 minutes and notched nine saves, while Kasey Haugan had no saves in mop-up work.
