NEWBERG, Ore. -- The George Fox Men's soccer team locked in another amazing 5-0 win against Witworth on Sunday afternoon, improving even more in the Northwest Conference. 

How It Happened
Unlike yesterday's game, each team struggled to score any goals for the majority of the first half. However, a strong fight was given by Fox as Joshua Chang attempted a shot in the first ten minutes, while Whitworth panicked to keep the order. Chang attempted another shot, keeping the Pirates frustrated and their defenses on their toes. The Bruins were running out of time, but Conner Kong came in with the ball, passed it to Isaac Williams who shot the first goal of the game into the lower left—the score being 1-0.

The Bruins only needed the first five minutes of the second half to gain dominion over the ball, attacking the Pirates powerfully, Kong passed the ball to freshman Harrison Emert who scored a flawless goal, low left. Witworth gained light possession over the ball for a little bit, but the Bruins wouldn't take any more as Kong snatched the ball with another assist, for Kellin Aguiar to shoot and score in low center. 

The Pirates caught control for a while and woke the Bruins up after a few blocked shots, all until Isaac Williams stole the ball, leaving Whitworth in the dust with another low center goal—4-0. Witworth was left frazzled, as Fox continued to crush them. With a little over ten minutes left in the game, Mason Ayles made a goal in low right with an assist from Kellin Aguiar, finalizing the score 5-0.

Top Performers
Isaac Williams was the highest scoring player of the game with two goals, Kellin Aguiar had one goal and one assist, while Harrison Emert and Mason Ayles had one goal each. Conner Kong had three seamless assists for the day. Justin Huntinger had three saves overall while Patrick O'Brian had one.

Coach's Thoughts
"Whitworth asked a number of questions today and the guys were fantastic in answering them as a collective," said Bruins head coach Paul Karver. "Our conference is filled with very good and well-coached teams - Whitworth is certainly one of them. Today was just out day. Now we turn our focus to another massive challenge next weekend." 

What It Means 
George Fox now has an overall record of 11-2-1 (7-2-1 NWC) for the season, while Whitman has an overall record of 6-6-2 (4-4-2 NWC). The Bruins are now solidly in second place in the conference after a six point weekend.
