Men's Soccer Edged At Whitworth

SPOKANE, Wash. - Looking to return to its winning ways, the Whitman College men's soccer team came up just short, falling at Whitworth 3-2 in Northwest Conference action on Wednesday.

The Pirates struck early and often with two goals coming inside of the opening 16 minutes. Arthur Beckett scored on an assist from Dominic Gusman in the eighth minute and, shortly after, the Pirates netted another on an unfortunate turn of events for the Blues. A loose ball was cleared off Bernie Jones in goal for the Blues and ricocheted into the goal.

Whitman (1-5-1, 1-2 NWC) had a chance to insert itself into the game after drawing a penalty kick midway through the first half. Edwin Romero took the spot kick but was unable to beat Whitworth keeper Aiden Chase and the score remained a two-goal lead for the Bucs.

The Blues finally got on the board in the 41st minute when Lucas McAllister scored on a pass from Jacob Burrill to make it a one-goal game by halftime.

Whitman had chances in the second half but Whitworth (3-3-1, 1-1-1 NWC) gave itself some insurance with a goal in the 74th minute. Jones came up with a fantastic penalty kick save taken by Chris Barry, but the deflection bounced off the post and back to Barry's foot who finished the empty netter.

The Blues made it interesting when Noa Taylor headed Oliver Dickson's flank service into the side netting with 90 seconds to play, but that would be the final scoring chance as the Bucs walked away with the narrow win.

Whitman returns to action on Sunday, Sept. 24 with a home game against Pacific. Kickoff at the Whitman Athletic Complex is set for 2:30 p.m.
