Hot Start Leads Whitworth Past Men's Soccer 2-0

Emmett Olson and the Pioneers defense held Whitworth to four shots on goal

SPOKANE, Wash.—Host Whitworth University scored two first-half goals, to earn a 2-0 win over visiting Lewis & Clark College men's soccer on Saturday afternoon. 

THE BASICS 
 
Whitworth 2, Lewis & Clark 0 
(Lewis & Clark 0-14-3, Northwest Conference 0-11-2) 
(Whitworth 7-4-3, NWC 7-3-3) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Johny Cortez and Dominic Gusman scored goals 14:27 apart in the first half, to lift the Pirates to their eighth shutout win of the season. 
 
Junior goalie Micaiah Garan made two saves on four shots for Lewis & Clark. The four shots on goal allowed by the Pioneers defense is tied for the fewest this season. 
 
Senior Ben Schwartz and junior Dylan Weinstein tied for the Pioneers team-high with two shots apiece. Weinstein recorded the team's lone shot on target. Sophomores Sam Gunderson, Talen Haywood and Alex Woods all added one shot. 
 
Whitworth grabbed the lead in the 11th minute. Gusman sent a long ball ahead to Jordan Voigt. The senior flicked the ball on to Cortez in the middle of the box and he calmly finished to make it 1-0 at 10:14. 
 
Gusman made it 2-0 at 24:41. The graduate student drew a foul in the box and sent a low shot into the bottom left-corner for his team-leading eighth goal of the season. 
 
After being outshot 5-0 through the first 25 minutes, Lewis & Clark would match the Pirates over the final 65 minutes. Both teams would post seven shots across the final 65 minutes of action. 
 
Weinstein posted the team's first shot moments after the Pirates second goal and Gunderson and Woods notched back-to-back looks in the 36th and 37th minutes. 
 
Lewis & Clark garnered their best chance of the game in the 79th minute. Whitworth's Johnny Finnegan was issued a red card for a foul just outside the box. Haywood stepped up to take the free kick but his shot went just over the bar to keep the score 2-0. 
 
BY THE NUMBERS 
  • Whitworth closed out the game with a 12-7 edge in shots and a 4-1 lead in shots on goal. 
  • Lewis & Clark has held Northwest (WA), the University of Puget Sound and now Whitworth to four shots on goal in a game. 
  • With his two saves on Saturday, Garan reached 100 saves for the season. He is the first goalie since the program was elevated back to varsity status in 2022 to reach 100 or more saves in a single-season. 
  • Weinstein is closing in on 4,500 career minutes. He leads the team this season with 1,448 minutes and sitting on 4,473 minutes through his first 56 career games.
