Pacific Drops First Conference Game at Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. – The Pacific men's soccer team (4-3-3, 0-1 WCC) fell to a strong No. 11 Portland team (6-2-0, 1-0 WCC), 4-0, on Saturday.

Eight Tigers contributed in shots with fifth-year senior Samuel Saiz Herraiz taking two. Senior Cory Johnson, sophomore Danny Govea and fifth-year senior Avery Whipple recorded one shot on goal. Redshirt junior Joshua Moya secured five saves for Pacific.

The Tigers kept the game tight in the first half, holding a talented Portland offense to just 4 shots on goal. The Pilots scored in the 21st and 34th minutes to grab a 2-0 lead going into the half.

Portland carried their momentum on into the second by getting nine shots, with two of them turning into goals in the 62nd and 83rd minutes to grow their lead.

"We must give credit where credit is due," said head coach Adam Reeves. "Ultimately, we weren't good in the first 35 minutes and that was the game… I was happy with the way we started the second half but needed a bit more quality in the final third. We will learn from this and come back next Saturday with a different level to us."

The Tigers will play their second conference game at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7, against Loyola Marymount. Pacific will also host Family/Alumni and YMCA Night.
