Men's Soccer Falls In Wild Finish To College of Idaho

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - A wild season opener saw five goals in the final 14 minutes as the Whitman College men's soccer team suffered a heartbreaking 3-2 season-opening loss to the College of Idaho on Friday evening at the Whitman Athletic Complex.

Goals were non-existent throughout much of the match and, when Edwin Romero scored off a Noa Taylor assist, the Blues (1-0) seemed to be in good shape to hold on for a win.

The Yotes had other ideas and scored three times in the final nine minutes to edge the Blues. 

After Joao Bastos evened the match in the 85th minute, Taylor scored to give the lead right back to the Blues. Sawyer Valero's shot ricocheted off Ben Anderson in net to an on-running Taylor who slotted the loose ball into the back of the net.

Less than one minute later, Jorge Fernandez scored the equalizer and, in the 89th minute, the Yotes drew a free kick outside the penalty area which Dani Alejos slotted over the Whitman wall and into the near post. 

Bernie Jones made five saves in net for the Blues with Anderson logging three saves.
