Men's Soccer Tops Whitworth, Remains Undefeated In NWC

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - In the Battle of the Whits, the Whitman College men's soccer team scored two goals in the first half and took down Whitworth 2-1 in Northwest Conference action on Wednesday at James Hayner Field.

The win puts the Blues (5-1-1, 2-0-1 NWC) at the top of the conference standings and with only one loss on the season. The Bucs fall to 3-3-1 overall and 1-1-1 in conference.

Jacob Burrill, fresh off his Northwest Conference Offensive Player of the Week recognition, scored the game's first goal in the 13th minute and gave Whitman a lead it would not relinquish.

Sawyer Valero continued his stellar campaign and put the Blues up 2-0 with a goal in the 36th minute off a pass from Takahiro Hikida.

The Bucs put the result in question in the 58th minute when Caden Martin scored to make it a 2-1 game. Whitman keeper Niclas Isensee was able to keep the Pirates out of the back of his net to preserve the win.

Lucas Haigh started and played a scoreless first 45 minutes with Isensee inserted at halftime. Aiden Chase made two saves while allowing the two Whitman goals.

The Blues now visit Linfield this Saturday, Sept. 28 at 12:00 p.m.
