Evergreen 4, Warner Pacific 1 – Recap from Evergreen athletics

Freshman Willie Spurr scored two goals and senior Kevin Flavin scored the eventual game-winner in Evergreen’s 4-1 win in their first playoff game since 2005 and first home playoff game in program history.

Spurr started the scoring in the 24th minute scoring on a header off a Flavin cross. Warner Pacific evened the score in the 3oth minute when Jameson Jones scored on an open goal after Evergreen keeper Mauricio Sanchez misplayed a ball on the other side of the box. It was Sanchez’s only mistake of the night, making five saves over the course of 90 minutes. The two teams went into halftime tied at 1-1.

Warner Pacific came out of the half as the aggressors but couldn’t put home a goal. In the 60th minute, Flavin received a long pass and dribbled around Knights’ keeper Drew Bonifacio to score the eventual game winner. Willie Spurr duplicated Flavin’s effort for the insurance goal in the 67th minute and Kyle Wiese added another insurance goal in the 80th minute to give the Geoducks the 4-1 victory.

Evergreen moves on to the Cascade Collegiate Conference championship game on Saturday and will face the #1 seed Concordia in Portland at 6:00 PM.
