Men's Soccer's Comeback Falls Short At Willamette

Senior Emmett Olson scored his first collegiate goal in the loss

SALEM, Ore.—Willamette University scored a pair of corner kick goals in the first half, to earn a 2-1 win over Lewis & Clark College men's soccer on Saturday afternoon. 
 
THE BASICS 
 
Willamette 2, Lewis & Clark 1
(Lewis & Clark 1-11, Northwest Conference 1-8) 
(Willamette 3-5-2, NWC 3-3-2) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Senior center back Emmett Olson headed home a Dylan Weinstein corner kick to record his first collegiate goal in the loss. 
 
Set pieces were the name of the game on Saturday. All three goals came off set pieces from the corner flag closest to the Willamette bench.
 
Senior Dylan Weinstein picked up his second assist of the week and team-leading second assist of the season on Olson's corner-kick goal. 
 
Senior goalie Micaiah Garan made five saves on seven shots in the loss. The senior made all five of his saves in the first half to keep the River Otters in the game. 
 
Willamette jumped all over Lewis & Clark in the first half. The hosts outshot the River Otters 11-0 and earned a 4-0 edge in corner kicks. 
 
Milo McCarthy made it 1-0 at 14:03 when he headed home a corner kick at the near post. 
 
The hosts added a second goal just before halftime. McCarthy picked up an assist when he lofted a ball into the middle of the six-yard box and Seth Hertel rose up and headed the cross in for a 2-0 lead at 43:29. 
 
Lewis & Clark grew into the game in the second half. They matched the Bearcats with four shots apiece and cut the deficit to 2-1 at 72:18. Weinstein sent a line-drive cross to the near post and Olson headed it past Bearcats goalie Mikkel Jensen to make it a 2-1 game. 
 
The River Otters generated one corner kick in the final minutes but couldn't find a game-tying goal. 
 
BY THE NUMBERS 
  • Olson scored his first collegiate goal in his 65th collegiate game. The senior center back has played in all 12 games this season and started seven contests. 
  • Weinstein matched Aashir Walson ('26) for the program record for career assists (four) on Saturday. 
  • Garan recorded at least five saves for the eighth time this season and 30th time in his career. 
  • Willamette finished the game with a 15-4 edge in shots and 7-4 lead in shots on goal. 
WHO'S NEXT
