College of Idaho Drops Another Close Match, Falls to NNU 1-0
NAMPA, Idaho -- A 25-yard strike by Dylan Coffee in the 20th minute was the lone goal of the afternoon, as Northwest Nazarene picked up a 1-0 victory over The College of Idaho.
Jose Oregon crossed a ball to Coffee outside the box and rocket a twisting shot to the upper corner of the twine, as NNU (3-0) extended their win streak over their Canyon County rivals to five.
The Yotes (1-3), who had a 13-10 edge in shots and a 7-1 edge in corner kicks, threatened throughout – but couldn’t find the net. Ben Tjaden blasted a shot in the 25th minute off the crossbar, then had a trio of corner kicks in the 85th minute, but could not crack the NNU defense.
The C of I opens Cascade Collegiate Conference play next week with matches against Corban and Evergreen State at Simplot Stadium.
