TACOMA, Wash. — Pacific Lutheran University's men's soccer team secured a 1-0 victory over Lewis & Clark College on Sunday afternoon at East Field, extending its strong Northwest Conference season.
The Lutes (11-2-5, 9-1-4 NWC) found the back of the net in the 22nd minute when
Ty Brunner scored his sixth goal of the season. Brunner was set up by
Misha Turchaninov and
Ryan Vu, who each recorded an assist on the game-winning goal.
Pacific Lutheran controlled much of the offensive action, outshooting the River Otters 12-3 while putting six shots on target. The Lutes also held a 6-2 advantage in corner kicks.
Brunner led the Lutes with four shots, including two on goal. Turchaninov also recorded four shots, putting two on target, while
Connor O'Brien added three shots.
Defensively, the Lutes kept Lewis & Clark off the scoreboard for the full 90 minutes. Goalkeeper
Chris Jamrok recorded one save to earn the shutout as the PLU defense limited the River Otters to just three shots.
With the victory, Pacific Lutheran improves to 11-2-5 overall and 9-1-4 in conference play.
The Lutes will return to action next weekend, heading to Spokane, Washington, to take on Whitworth University on Saturday, Nov. 7, before traveling to Walla Walla to face Whitman College on Sunday, Nov. 8. Both matches are scheduled for 11 a.m.
