October 14, 2007 Lacey, WA – Simon Fraser University posted two goals in the first half and three in the second on their way to a 5-0 shutout victory over Saint Martin’s in a non-conference game Sunday afternoon at the Regional Athletic Complex. “Simon Fraser is a top NAIA team and their visit to lacey was one that I don’t think a lot of kids really understood the significance of. They bring a very skillful and hardworking special brand of soccer that we don’t always see. I think that there were some lessons that we learned today; this is all about building character,” said head coach Rob Walker. Both teams played tough defense in the first half as the score remained 0-0 through nearly 40 minutes of play. Simon Fraser would change things in the 37th minute as Lucas Barrett scored on an assist from Luca Bellisomo. The Clan would pick up another goal less then three minutes later when Colin Strekmann got the ball to Justin Carvery who beat the Saints’ defender for the goal. Carvery would add another goal in the 68th minute and pick up an assist on Barrett’s second goal at the 48:10 mark. The final goal for the Clan came with just under two minutes to play when Valente Giovanni scored on assists from Alan Chivers and Reece Miles. The Saints were outshot by the Clan 29-7. Zac Lubin and T.J. Young split time in the goal for SMU. Lubin posted eight saves while Young had three. “Tucker Maxwell worked really hard all day long and had a very good game for us at the central defender position. His partner in the back Andy Schroeder did a great job as well in that role. That is significant because they had to work probably harder then any other players in the game and they did quite good,” added Walker. The Saints are on the road as they take on Seattle Pacific University on Tuesday, October 16th in Seattle.
