Men's Soccer Posts Season-High In Shots In Loss To GFU

Sophomore Aashir Walson tied for the team-high with two shots

PORTLAND, Ore.—Lewis & Clark College men's soccer played one of their best first halves of the season and held visiting George Fox off the scoreboard for the first 56+ minutes on Wednesday night at Griswold Stadium. 
 
THE BASICS
George Fox 4, Lewis & Clark 0
(Lewis & Clark 0-8, Northwest Conference 0-4) 
(George Fox 3-5-1, NWC 2-2-1) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
The Pioneers took another step forward on Wednesday as they played one of their most competitive games of the season and showed positive signs on both offense and defense. 
 
Sophomore Kaushal Riedman and freshmen Emmett Olson, Clay Scarth and Owen Carroll did a phenomenal job in the first 45 minutes of limiting George Fox to just six shots and only two on target. The quartet played extremely well individually and as a group and consistently stymied the Bruins into the second half. 
 
Sophomore goalie Ben Tallent was active in coming off his line and contributed four saves. He made a phenomenal one-hand parry save in the second half on a blistering shot from distance to keep the Pioneers in the game. 
 
Offensively, Lewis & Clark posted a season-high 10 shots and showed positive signs in their linkup play and play around the box. Sophomore Aashir Walson, freshman Nadav Dicovski and Riedman each posted two shots in the contest. 
 
After 56+ minutes of even play, George Fox grabbed the lead thanks to a penalty in the 57th minute. A Bruin went down right at the edge of the box and Eugene Peltier stepped up and found the back of the net for his team-leading fourth goal of the season. 
 
George Fox doubled their lead less than three minutes later. Tallent made the initial save on a hard, low shot from distance but the rebound fell for Kellin Aguiar to make it 2-0 at 59:30. 
 
The Bruins added a third goal in the 64th minute and tacked on a fourth goal on a Pioneers own goal at 74:39. 
 
BY THE NUMBERS
  • George Fox outshot the Pioneers 17-10 and held an 8-2 advantage on shots on goal. 
  • The Pioneers 10 shots in a regular-season contest are their most since the program resumed last fall. 
  • Wednesday's game marked just the second time this season the Pioneers have held an opponent off the scoresheet in the first half.
  • Carroll was making his NWC debut after missing the team's first three conference games due to an injury. 
WHO'S NEXT 
 
Lewis & Clark will host Pacific Lutheran University on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
