HOW IT HAPPENED 
 
Willamette University scored two second-half goals against a 10-man River Otters team to earn the victory. 
 
Prior to the contest, Lewis & Clark honored their seven seniors: Eddie Ludington, Zidane Indarta, Dylan Weinstein, Emmett Olson, Owen Carroll, Garan and Meredith. The septet played their final career home game and final collegiate game on Saturday.
 
After two early looks from the Bearcats, Lewis & Clark posted the first shot on goal of the game in the fifth minute. Indarta, who earned the start at center forward, received a through-ball over the top, held off a defender and sent a low shot that Willamette's Mikkel Jensen was able to stop with a diving save. 
 
Willamette would hold the upper hand in shots and possession for most of the half but Garan was able to keep the game scoreless. He posted a double-save in the 20th minute when he stopped Owen Albrecht and Dillon Smith. 
 
The game turned in the 24th minute when Lewis & Clark's Raff Ladd was handed a yellow and then given a straight-red within a 31-second span. The River Otters managed to keep the game scoreless for the final 21+ minutes of the half. 
 
Willamette came out of the break and immediately found their first goal. The Bearcats broke down the far sideline and Paddy Bell sent a cutback pass across net that found Asher Gaworecki wide-open in front of goal at 45:15.
 
Brenden Pineda tried to double the lead less than two minutes later, but Meredith was able to parry away the line drive shot at the near post. 
 
Willamette added a second goal in the 75th minute. The visitors sent a corner kick to the middle of the box, Bell managed to send a shot on goal that Meredith saved but the rebound fell right to Carter Heikkila who tapped it in at the near post.
