WALLA WALLA, Wash. – Pacific Men's Soccer were unable to create any clear scoring opportunities in the 1-0 defeat at Whitman on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Boxers recorded just one shot in the contest as the hosts took full control of the match, racking up 16 shots with eight on target.
 
Top Performers 
 

• Zach Aderinto came up with some very important saves to keep his team within striking distance, posting seven on the day.
• Jericho Lara, Cooper Sheakley, Tait Kuchenbrod, Brodie Buchert, Tyler Wong, and Aderinto lasted all 90 minutes.

 
How It Happened
 
The Boxers defended well and kept the Blues at bay for the first 45 minutes. Despite some well-organized defending, Whitman opened the scoring in the 54^th minute through Edwin Romero.
 
This would prove to be the winning goal as Forest Grove's team couldn't seem to find a foothold in the match.
 
What It Means
 
Pacific falls to 0-5-1, still looking for its first win of the season and its first points of conference play. Whitman remains unbeaten in NWC action, improving to 1-0-1 to earn four points out of a possible six.
 
Up Next
 
The Boxers hope to recover in time for their next match on Sept. 24 at 2:30 p.m. inside Hanson Stadium, where they will host Willamette.
