Men's Soccer Wins Thriller In NWC Opener

TACOMA, Wash. - The Blues have suffered several late defeats this season, but finally gave an opponent a taste of their own medicine. Edwin Romero ignited a late counter attack which concluded with a Lucas McAllister goal with only four seconds remaining on the clock, lifting the Whitman College men's soccer team to a thrilling 3-2 Northwest Conference win over Puget Sound on Saturday afternoon.

McAllister's game winner came after a failed attempt by Willamette (1-2, 0-1 NWC) to convert on a free kick in front of the Whitman goal. Romero raced down the field with the ball and found Christian Gomez in the attacking half. Gomez played McAllister who one-timed his shot past Bearcat keeper Ryan Saunders just in the nick of time.

The goal came after Whitman had surrendered two goals before halftime. Romero scored midway through on an assist from Sawyer Valero, then Valero scored a goal of his own in the 34th minute to carry Whitman to a 2-0 lead at halftime.

Marko Babiak brought the Loggers back quickly. He scored goals in the 49th and 57th minutes to level the scoreline. UPS had its own shot to win the game after drawing a free kick in the final moments, but the Loggers couldn't convert and the rest was history.

The Blues close their NWC opening weekend with a visit to Pacific Lutheran on Sunday, Sept. 17. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.
