PORTLAND, Ore. - A late second half penalty conversion rescued a point for Warner Pacific in a 1-1 draw versus Evergreen tonight in CCC play.

The Basics

 Score: Warner Pacific 1, Evergreen 1
 Records: WPC (3-2-3, 2-1-1 CCC), ESC (2-5, 2-1-1 CCC)
 Location: Strasser Field, Portland, Ore.
 The Short Story: Warner Pacific surrendered a breakaway goal in the waning moments of the first half, but earned a penalty kick late in the second to salvage a tie versus Evergreen. The visiting Geoducks had most of their chances in the first half, as WPC established a grip on the match after halftime. The offensive surge paid off for the Knights in the 87th minute. Geovanny Vazquez was clipped in the box which gave WP a try from the spot. Joe White came up from his goalkeeper position and hammered it into the net for the equalizer.

How it Happened

Connor Beck put Evergreen on the scoreboard first. He slotted his shot past White from close in after taking a centering pass from Tanner Williams.
• Warner Pacific began to impose their will as the second period wore on, shooting nine times at goal compared to three for the Geoducks.
• Angel Guerra was a wonder for ESC between the pipes, stopping a drive from Geovanny Vazquez in th 90th minute, and then the point blank rebound chance by Mario Guizar.
The Knights pressed forward to no avail in the overtime periods. Guerra again came up big with a reaction stop of a Ruben Amezcua blast from 8 yards.

Up Next

Warner Pacific will host Evergreen on Saturday, September 27. Game starts at 7:30 pm at Strasser Field.
