PORTLAND, OR - The Northwest University men's soccer team controlled the entirety of the game today. The Eagles outshot the pioneers 18 to 7 for the game. Northwest got on the scoreboard first with Elliot Misic scoring his first goal of the season assisted by Samuel Brendle. 
 
In the second half, the Pioneers got a goal in the 61st minute that leveled the game. The Eagles, though, did not take long to get back on the scoreboard, scoring three minutes later. Matt Ludlow got his second goal of the year assisted by Ryan Anderson. Then in the 82nd minute, Joao Fonseca got a third goal for Northwest, assisted by Angel Ventura and Brendle. 
 
Head Coach Gary McIntosh commented, "We controlled most of the game and played with poise and confidence. We connected many passes, and we did a lot of what we have talked about this past week at practice. It's great to get a second win as we head into conference next week. Preseason has not been easy for us. It's been teaching us a lot about ourselves, though, and we've grown over the last six weeks into a strong team. We are excited to get conference play going."
