McMinnville, Ore. --The George Fox men's soccer team picked up their second straight win with an impressive road performance against the Linfield Wildcats, 3-1.

How It Happened
George Fox fell behind early in the game after a Wildcats goal in the second minute of play off of a corner kick. The Bruin offense retaliated immediately, however, dominating both field position and ball control over the next ten minutes.

Fox broke through in the 13th minute, when Harrison Emert put one through on the back of assists by Isaac Wilson and Joshua Chang on a wild double-bicycle goal. From there, the Bruin offense was firing on all cylinders – outshooting Linfield 11-2 for the first half. 

Isaac Williams scored Fox's next goal off an assist from Kellin Aguiar, extending their lead, 2-1. The Bruins would strike once more before the period ended, with a solo goal from Harrison Emert sending Fox into halftime with all the momentum and a commanding lead, 3-1.

The second half was a much tighter contest, with both teams trading field position and vying for ball control. Fox strung together three unanswered shots early in the period, but was unable to put any of them on goal. Fox's defense was impenetrable for the remainder of the game, though, with Huttinger making three more saves to keep Linfield at bay despite the increase in offensive pressure. The Bruins outshot the Wildcats 17-7 on their way to picking up the road win, 3-1.

Top Performers
Freshman Harrison Emert led the way for the Bruin offense with two goals on the day, while Isaac Williams finished the game with one goal. Kellin Aguiar, Joshua Chang and Isaac Wilson each had one assist. In goal, Justin Huttinger put together an impressive performance, ending the day with four saves.

Coach's Thoughts
"When you ask to be great, the Lord does not simply hand you greatness, but instead places challenges before you that when answered can make you great," said Head Coach Paul Karver. "This is exactly what happened this evening. Going down 1-0 in under two minutes left us a challenge - the boys answered the call and I couldn't be more proud of these young men."

What It Means
The Bruins improve to 8-2-1 on the season (4-2-1 NWC), while the Wildcats fall to 2-10 (1-7 NWC). 

What Happens Next
The Bruins will look to continue this momentum in their home matchup against the Lewis and Clark Pioneers (0-10, 0-6 NWC) on October 13th. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. at Austin Sports Complex.
