Box Score

FOREST GROVE, Ore. — The Pacific Lutheran men's soccer team overwhelmed Pacific on Sunday, winning 4-2 in a Northwest Conference match.

Trevor Thompson scored twice in the first 10 minutes, while Cris Lozano and Brandt Kelly added goals in the second half.

"Our starters played well and gave us the opportunity to get some good game experience for our young guys," PLU coach John Yorke said. "Training is definitely not the same as a game, so any chance we can get to develop some of our players who normally don't get the minutes is a good thing."

The Lutes (9-2 overall, 4-2 NWC) managed to get 29 players into the game, with the starters only averaging about 60 minutes of playing time.

Thompson scored on an assist from Robby Guyer less than two minutes into the match and earned his brace in the 10th minute on an assist from Christian Pineda.

The score remained 2-0 heading into the break when Lozano scored unassisted in the 57th minute and Kelly scored off another assist by Pineda just 37 seconds later.

Pacific (0-8-2, 0-5-1) scored on a penalty kick in the 83 minute and added another goal in the 85th minute.

"There were some great learning opportunities for some of our guys today," Yorke said. "It is always great to get three points on the road."

Nicholas Gaston earned the win in goal, allowing no goals and not facing a shot.

The Lutes have now won two games in a row and return home to host crosstown rival Puget Sound at 7 p.m. Friday at East Field as part of the annual Homecoming festivities.
