Evergreen Scores 8-0 in Shutout of Walla Walla University
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Evergreen's Corey Johnson (FR Longview, WA / Mark Morris High School ) scored a hat trick in today's game with Walla Walla University as the team won 8-0. Johnson moves into the Geoduck All-Time Top 3 list of goals scored in a game.
Johnson scored the first of his three goals just after the 3 minutes into the game. Walla Walla's keeper, Kevin Torres, who was filling in for the Wolves injured goalie, was easily faked out by Johnson.
Totalling 5 goals so far this season, Johnson added two more in the game before the first half was over. All of Johnson's goals were unassisted.
Walla Walla had a tough time getting the ball to stay on Evergreen's end of the field, shooting the ball just 5 times with 3 shots on goal. Despite his inexperience in the goal, Torres was able to record 6 saves in the game.
Jesse Wheelock (SR, Kent, WA / White River HS) also scored in the first half assisted by Matt Curry (SR, Mt. Vernon, WA / Mt. Vernon HS) and Curry scored as well assisted by Shawn Farrow (SR, Lakewood, WA / Clover Park HS).
In the second half Farrow knocked one in following a nice feed near the net from James Pratt (SR, Bellevue, WA / Bellevue HS). Brian Davis (JR, Seattle, WA / Mt. Rainier HS) used his height advantage to knock in a header with 14 minutes remaining. Eight minutes later Davis scored again off of a corner kick by Wes Magyar (SO, Hutchinson, KS) who was credited with the assist.
Sunday Evergreen plays at home in a 11:00 AM game with Embry-Riddle University (AZ).
