NW Briefs | Saint Martin's beats SPU 3-2 in men's soccer

The Saints completed a season sweep of the Falcons and maintained their GNAC lead with a victory in Lacey.

LACEY — Vlad Voin scored from inside the box during the 75th minute, helping Saint Martin's complete a sweep of the regular-season men's soccer series against Seattle Pacific with a 3-2 victory Thursday over the 24th-ranked Falcons.

It was only the second defeat this season for SPU (9-2-3 overall, 2-2-1 Great Northwest Athletic Conference), both against Saint Martin's. The GNAC-leading Saints (9-6, 4-1) defeated the Falcons by the same score Oct. 1 in Seattle.

Ruben Orozco, a junior from Decatur High School, had a part in all three goals for Saint Martin's in the school's first game on its new on-campus field. He scored the first goal and assisted on Voin's score and one by Kelley Austin.

Sophomore midfielder Tyler Schultz scored twice for SPU, increasing his team-leading total to six goals.
