There is no timetable for his return from surgery on both of his ankles during the offseason and head coach Ron Rivera said that it is possible that he ends up on the physically unable to perform list. If he is put on the PUP list, he will miss the first six weeks of the season. – Link

Evergreen 2, Trinity Lutheran 0 – Recap from Evergreen athletics

Ethan Sumlin’s header in the 31st minute beat Trinity Lutheran goalkeeper Luis Godinez to give The Evergreen State College men’s soccer team their first goal of the 2013 season in their 2-0 win over the Eagles on Saturday afternoon at Evergreen.

Colin Harlow made three saves in the shutout including a fantastic sprawling dive to his left side that would have put Trinity Lutheran up 1-0 in the first half. All three of Harlow’s saves came in the first 45 minutes and though the Eagles pressured for a short time early in the second half, the Evergreen defense didn’t allow another shot on frame and made easy work of two free kicks that came just outside of the box early in the half.

Jeff Roland scored the insurance goal for the Geoducks in the 60th minute when he juked the out of position goalkeeper and scored on the empty net.
