Vizzoni nets winner in 4-1 win over Linfield

FOREST GROVE, Ore. — Four different Boxers scored on the afternoon, including a goal and an assist from junior Peter Vizzoni, as the Boxers cruised to a 4-1 home victory over Linfield at Ledbetter Field at Hanson Stadium.

Senior Weli Alamillo (Aiea, Hawaii) opened the scoring for the Boxers (8-5-1, 5-4-1) in the 43rd minute, when he converted a penalty kick chance for his fourth goal of the season.

The 48th minute saw Vizzoni (Snohomish, Wash.) sprint down the right flank before cutting toward the center of the field and firing a shot inside the near post from 10 yards to put the Boxers up 2-0.

Senior Matt Kimball (Tigard, Ore.) increased the Boxers' lead to 3-0 after a low hard pass from freshman James Curro (Anchorage, Alaska) deflected off a Linfield (2-12-0, 0-10-0 NWC) defender and found the feet of Kimball. The Boxers' leading scorer in 2017, Kimball, tallied his seventh of the year as he tucked a 12-yard shot inside the near post.

The Boxers were not done scoring, as Vizzoni drove a cross toward the front of the goal mouth, which was tapped in from five yards out by sophomore Robert Nurmi (Gig Harbor, Wash.).

Linfield's Henry Rosenfeld curled a 15-yard shot inside the far post in the 86th minute to pull the final score to 4-1 in the Boxers' advantage.

THE MATCH WAS OVER WHEN... Vizzoni sprinted down the right wing and slotted the eventual game winner into the back of the net in the 48th minute.

STAT OF THE GAME... Vizzoni not only scored his first goal of the season, and third of his career, he recorded his first assist of 2017 on Saturday afternoon.

NEXT UP... Pacific heads south to Salem on Sunday for a scheduled noon kickoff against the Bearcats of Willamette University.

HAT TRICK, QUICK FACTS...
1... All four of Pacific's goalscorers on Saturday tallied the second goal of their careers against the Wildcats. Kimball previously scored against Linfield in 2015, Vizzoni and Nurmi in 2016, while Alamillo scored earlier in 2017 at Linfield.

2... Junior defenders Eamonn Hartmann (Portland, Ore.) and Keilian MacCulloch (Glengarry, Ontario, Canada) were the lone field players to go a full 90 minutes on Saturday.

3... Senior goalkeeper Leyton Thommasen (Des Moines, Wash.) was only forced to make one save on the afternoon.
