SALEM, Ore.  – The Northwest Christian University men's soccer team prevented the early goal that had plagued them for most of the season, but the Beacons were still handed a 4-0 loss to Corban University on Saturday afternoon.

The Warriors didn't get on the board until the 20th minute of the game when Devin Chaney sent a through ball to Tyler Hagen, who as left one-on-one against NCU keeper Nick Kratzke. Six minutes later it was Chaney's turn to score, creating his own shot, dribbling around Kratzke and punching home in the insurance goal into the upper corner of the net. Corban took a 2-0 lead into the intermission after out-shooting NCU 7-4 in the period.

Just four minutes into the second half Chaney scored his second goal, taking a pass from Hagen, getting around a defender and firing under the keeper. Corban's final goal came in the 78th minute when Jake Paulson sent a through ball to K.J. Newbery. Newbery was left in front of a wide open net for the score.

In all, NCU was outshot 13-8, including an 8-4 edge in shots-on-goal. Chris Longi (pictured) had four shot attempts for the Beacons, putting three of them on-frame. Kratzke finished the night with four saves.

The Beacons will be back in action on Tuesday, returning home to face Warner Pacific College at 4:00 pm.
