• Score: Pacific 0, Warner Pacific 0
• Records: WPC (1-1-2), PAC (3-2)
• Location: Hanson Stadium, Forest Grove, Ore.
• The Short Story: Lucas Sconyers and Babeck Ebadpour scored their first goals of the season to lead Pacific to a 2-0 men's soccer shutout of Warner Pacific. Sconyers connected on just the Boxers' shot on goal of the match whipping a header into the far side of the net on a corner kick situation. Ebadpour gave the Boxers an insurance goal in the 69th minute, catching the trailing edge of Matt Kimball's long pass from midfield and bury the ball into the right side of the goal.

How It Happened

• After action stayed in the middle of the pitch for the opening 10 minutes, Warner Pacific succeeded in owning the momentum through most of the first half.
• Alejandro Catalan had the Knights' first open scoring chance in the 17th minute, but his 20-footer clanged off the post. 
• Vladan Vlaski found himself open from well above the box in the 26th minute, but Pacific goalie Leyton Thommasen was in position to make his only save of the half.
• Jack Andrade found himself open in the middle of the box in the 72nd minute, but was blocked by the Pacific defense. 
• Geovanny Vazquez had an opportunity from the same spot about 30 seconds later, but his attempt was also blocked. 
• Warner Pacific had a flurry of opportunities in the 8-yard box in the 85th minutes.  Pacific kept the ball out with a save by Thommasen and two balls cleared off the goal line by defenders.
• The Knights outshot Pacific 11-10, but the Boxers held a 7-3 advantage on corner kicks, including six in the second half.

Up Next

• The Knights will host Northwest Christian at Strasser Field in Delta Park next Tuesday, September 16 at 8pm.
