PORTLAND | After leading 1-0 at halftime and 3-0 in the second half, the Warner Pacific University Men's Soccer team (7-1, 4-0) almost let things slip out of control at the Eastside Timbers Sports Complex. The visiting Carroll College Saints (2-4, 2-2) came soaring back to keep this contest within reach, but just not enough time left on the clock to complete the comeback, as the Knights win this game 4-3 and stay perfect in conference play.

The lone goal of the first half came from Knights' senior defender Miguel Andalon-Ordaz, who just squeezed one between the legs of Saints' goalkeeper Kaden Connor from 30 yards out on a cross from senior midfielder Alex Nana to break the tie.

Tonight's second half featured six goals in total, three from each team, starting with Knights' senior forward Arturo Bahena scoring unassisted for his 9^th goal of the season, and later went on to score his conference-leading 10^th goal with less than nine minutes remaining in the second half, also unassisted.

Knights' senior forward Sunjoon Tenorio scored his first goal of the season in the 59^th minute by going across his body with the ball and striking it into the bottom right corner of the Saints' goal thanks to a cross and assist from Bahena. Tenorio becomes the 11^th different Knights' player to score a goal this season.

Scoring for the Saints in a valiant come-from-behind effort was midfielder Santiago Morazzani on two separate occasions, and midfielder Caleb Hoxie on a third effort to try knotting this one up late, and possibly sending everyone to an overtime period.

The Knights will take their perfect conference record on the road for their first taste of visiting conference team pressure when they take on the #23 Corban University Warriors in Salem, Ore. on Friday, October 1^st at 12:30pm PST.
