Today (11/6): Geoducks host first playoff game in program history
The Evergreen men’s soccer team hosts Warner Pacific in their very first home playoff game in program history today, though their “home” field will be the RAC in Lacey for this game. The Geoducks went 12-2 in Cascade Collegiate League play and are the #2 seed in the playoffs. The Knights finished third in conference at 8-5-1.
Evergreen swept the season series between the two teams. Willie Spurr scored a goal and Warner Pacific surrendered a game winning own goal in the Geoducks 2-1 win on September 22nd in Portland. Then on October 24th, Kevin Flavin scored a pair of goals and Mauricio Sanchez posted his fourth shutout of the season to take home a 2-0 win and clinch this home playoff game.
First kick today at the RAC is scheduled for 4:00 PM.

Boise State 75, Saint Martin’s 55 – Recap from BroncoSports.com
Saint Martin’s opened up their season with 75-55 exhibition game loss to Boise State at Taco Bell Arena in Boise. Roger O’Neill scored 14 points but no other Saint managed to score in double digits. Will Bond scored eight points and Brady Bomber, Eric Taylor and Tyler Idowu each scored seven in the loss.
Four Broncos scored in double digits including Igor Hadziomerovic’s 17 points, but Boise State has to be concerned that they only got nine points from their bench…in an exhibition game against a Division II team. The Broncos were picked to finish eighth out of nine teams in the Mountain West’s pre-season poll.
