Men's Soccer Plays To 2-2 Draw With George Fox

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The Whitman College men's soccer team led by a goal in the first half on the heels of a Lucas Haigh penalty kick save, but gave up a late equalizer and settled for a 2-2 draw to George Fox in Northwest Conference action on Sunday at James Hayner Field.

The Bruins (4-1-1, 0-1-1 NWC) opened the scoring inside the first 10 minutes from the foot of Elijah Soon. Harrison Emert found a small opening from the left side of the penalty box and laid a quick pass to Soon who finished past Lucas Haigh in net for the Blues (4-1-1, 1-0-1 NWC).

The pivotal moment of the game came in the 34th minute when the Bruins drew a penalty kick after a Whitman foul inside the box. Fox appeared prime to take a two-goal lead, but Haigh had other ideas and turned away Eugene Peltier's spotkick attempt.

The equalizer came not long after. With the Blues knocking on the door, Sawyer Valero laid a through ball to Lucas McAllister who finished past Justin Huttinger in net for the Bruins. Whitman's relentless pressure continued and led to a scintillating goal from Jacob Burrill less than two minutes later to give his team the lead. Takahiro Hikida ripped a shot which Huttinger parried away to the far post. With the loose ball skidding toward the endline, Burrill ran on and back-heeled shot into the back of the net with just over seven minutes to play in the half.

The second half saw chances by both teams but it were the Bruins who finally broke through with the equalizer in the 76th minute. Peltier atoned for his penalty kick miss and scored to level the score at 2-2.

Both teams had possession in the attacking third at various times in the second half, but no goals were to be had in the final quarter of an hour as Whitman and George Fox settled for a draw.

The Blues close their conference home opening slate on Wednesday against Whitworth at 5:30 p.m.
