Puget Sound would out-shoot the Boxers 25-5, but needed a late goal to carry them to a 2-1 victory.
 
In the first half, the Boxers (1-9-3, 0-7-2 NWC) would be the ones applying pressure early as Woodey Greer and Robert Nurmi had shots blocked away by Puget Sound (5-5-3, 3-3-3 NWC) defenders in just the 4^th minute.
 
It would be 30 minutes until the Boxers would have another shot at net, and Puget Sound would fire nine shots, their closest being a ricochet off the post. In this span Pacific keeper Brock Jones would make one of his eight saves on the day.
 
Jones would get challenged one more time in the half as he saved a break away shot by Puget Sound in the 38^th minute, effectively sending the two teams into half tied 0-0.
 
Then, just two minutes into the second half, James Curro would steal possession away near mid pitch and lay a through ball on the ground to Nurmi who would beat the keeper for his fifth goal of the season and give the Boxers a 1-0 lead.
 
It would take 10 minutes for the score to even back up at one as the Boxers knocked in an own goal in the 57^th minute.
 
After Jones had made seven straight saves on Puget Sound shot attempts, one would finally get by him in the 72^nd minute coming off of a corner. Jones attempted to punch the pass out of the box, but the ball was handled and deposited top shelf by a Logger.
 
Pacific would have their tying opportunity miss by mere inches, as Alex Passman took a cross in from Lucas Muller off the post in the 75^th minute.
 
Boxers are back in action Saturday Oct 20 against Willamette in Salem, and back home Sunday Oct 21 against Linfield.
