Puget Sound Holds Off Men's Soccer 1-0

Sophomore Raff Ladd nearly tied the game late in the second half

PORTLAND, Ore.—Lewis & Clark College men's soccer put the pressure on the University of Puget Sound in the second-half but the 10-man River Otters fell just short in a 1-0 loss on Sunday afternoon. 
 
THE BASICS 
 
Puget Sound 1, Lewis & Clark 0
(Lewis & Clark 1-9, Northwest Conference 1-6) 
(Puget Sound 4-0-4, NWC 3-0-3) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
The University of Puget Sound used a free-kick goal in the 31st minute to grab the lead and then went up a man in the 45th minute. Lewis & Clark wouldn't be deterred as they upped the pressure in the second half and nearly found an equalizer in the 81st minute. 
 
Senior Dylan Weinstein and sophomore Raff Ladd each posted shots for Lewis & Clark. Weinstein notched a team-high three shots and two shots on target. 
 
Senior goalie Micaiah Garan made two saves on three shots for the River Otters. 
 
Weinstein posted a pair of shots in the first 18 minutes but it would be the Loggers who would strike first. 
 
Puget Sound drew a foul next to the corner flag just after the half-hour mark. Owen Foley sent a cross to the back post and the tallest man on the field Mathijs van Panthaleon baron van Eck headed the ball in for a 1-0 advantage at 30:59. 
 
The game grew more and more chippy as the half went along with the two teams combining for 16 fouls and two yellow cards. Junior Eli Kraft was issued a red card just before halftime to put Lewis & Clark down a player. 
 
The River Otters came out of the break with a renewed sense of focus and pushed the tempo despite being down a player. 
 
Lewis & Clark nearly tied the game in the 81st minute. Junior Kaden Nakamura sent a long throw-in to the near post and Ladd got his head to the ball but Puget Sound goalie Mason Allison threw out his right hand and knocked the shot away to keep the game 1-0. 
 
The River Otters earned two corners in the final 10 minutes but couldn't find a way past Allison and the Loggers defense. 
 
BY THE NUMBERS 
  • Puget Sound earned an 8-3 edge in shots but the teams finished 3-3 in shots on target. 
  • Sunday's contest marked the second time in conference play and third time this season Lewis & Clark held an opponent to one goal or fewer. 
  • After not earning a corner on Saturday, Lewis & Clark matched the Loggers with four corners apiece. 
  • Senior Talen Haywood made his return to the lineup and played all 90 minutes after a one-game absence. First year Eliot Shepard, Weinstein and Garan also played the whole game. 
WHO'S NEXT 
 
Lewis & Clark will close out the first-half of conference play on Wednesday night, when they host George Fox University at 5 p.m. George Fox won the first meeting between the two teams 4-3 on September 13.
