September 22, 2008 Lacey, WA – Seattle Pacific didn’t score until the 71st minute but it would be all they would need as they beat Saint Martin’s 1-0 in the first Great Northwest Athletic Conference contest for both teams Monday afternoon at the Regional Athletic Complex. The Falcons lone goal came at the 70:56 mark when Drew Williams served up a corner kick to the far post. Ben Pliskin headed it across to Colin Kosco who finished it to give SPU the lead. “We have to work on our perseverance and discipline,” said head coach Rob Walker. “I’m disappointed about losing to them 1-0. You have to have a lot of respect for what they did today but we also have to overcome our difficulties better.” The Saints out shot the Falcons 12-8 but were unable to convert on any of their shots. SMU also had the advantage on corner kicks, 8-1. “Daniel Palermo and Tucker Maxwell played very well in the back as did Tony Armitage and Mickey Crudo,” said Walker. “Ruben Orozco played a good, very skillful game.” SMU keeper Zac Lubin had just two saves in the game while Seattle Pacific’s Ben Lovelace had four saves to earn the win. The Saints, now 1-7 overall, 0-1 in conference, are on the road next week to take on Montana State Billings and Northwest Nazarene.
