KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - Rookie Luke Hammer scored the first George Fox University goal and assisted on the second in his college debut as the Bruins ended a 20-game winless streak with a 2-0 victory over the Oregon Institute of Technology Owls in non-conference men's soccer action Friday night here at Trevor Derrah Field.

Hammer struck at the 35:40 mark in the first half with a score off an assist from Nick Schoen.  Five minutes late, Hammer launched a pass across the box to Sawyer Meek, who sent a shot along the ground into the left corner for a big insurance goal.

Those two scores were more than enough to secure the win for junior goalkeeper Jacob Baker, making his first college start, who faced 18 shots in all and seven on goal, saving all of them.  George Fox was held to seven shots, only two on goal, but both went in past Owls' keeper Tanner Lee.  Oregon Tech held a 5-3 edge in corner kicks.

The victory was the first for the Bruins since a 2-1 home win over Whitman College on Oct. 25, 2009.  George Fox had dropped its final three games of the '09 season and gone 0-15-2 last year, setting a school record for consecutive games without a win which is now over.    

NEXT:  George Fox (1-0) returns home to host Trinity Lutheran College of Everett, Wash., Monday at 2:00 p.m. at the Austin Sports Complex.  The Bruins and the Eagles met for the first time last year, TLC taking a 4-1 win in Everett on Sept. 4 ... Oregon Tech (0-2) is off until next Saturday, Sept. 10, when the Owls will host Linfield College at 7:00 p.m.
