NEWBERG, Ore. - With all scoring coming over the final 45 minutes, the Bushnell men's soccer team dropped a non-conference contest to George Fox University on Wednesday night, 2-1.
The Bruins (1-0) held a 15-6 advantage in shots and kept Beacon keeper Julian Hernandez busy as the senior collected five saves in the contest.
GFU was the first team on the scoreboard, posting a goal just two minutes into the second half.
Bushnell got that score back almost immediately as they were awarded a penalty kick after a illegal tackle. Freshman Joshua Ishizaka (pictured) was the recipient of the opportunity and he succeeded, finding the back of the net to make it 1-1.
George Fox, however, was able to put the decisive mark on the tally in the 61st minute and held on for the win.
The Beacons (0-2) will regroup and be back in action on Saturday, September 11 as they come home to face Simpson University at 1:00 pm.
