NEWBERG, Ore. – Taylor Jackson picked a fine time to score his first Pacific Lutheran goal, knocking in the game-winner off a corner kick in the final minute of regulation to lead the seventh-ranked PLU men's soccer team to a Northwest Conference victory over George Fox Saturday afternoon.

The Lutes' program-best season-opening undefeated streak extends to seven matches with the win as PLU's record improves to 6-0-1 overall and 1-0 in conference play. George Fox falls to 1-6 overall and 0-1 in the NWC. Pacific Lutheran returns to action Sunday afternoon, traveling to Forest Grove for a 2:30 p.m. matchup with Pacific.

As the seconds ticked away toward a potential second consecutive overtime contest, Diego Aceves lined up for a corner kick with less than a minute remaining in regulation. Aceves' corner found Jackson in position for the shot, and the PLU defender knocked it in at the 89:26 mark – a mere 34 seconds left to play.

A 22-14 shot advantage for PLU appeared as if it might go for naught late in the second half as the teams maintained dueling shutouts. Joe Rayburn played all 90 minutes in goal for the Lutes, tallying four saves to earn the shutout. Luke Ridder took the tough-luck loss for George Fox, yielding only Jackson's goal while saving five shot attempts.
