Pacific made the most of its scoring opportunities, putting two of three shots on goal into the back of the net to defeat Linfield 2-1 Friday night.

Tyler Scott scored the Boxers first goal on an assist by Aidan Pierias in the 43rd minute. But Sid Kosaris answered just a minute later to even the match at 1-1 entering halftime.

Aidan Heflin scored the game-winning goal on an assist by Brodie Buchert in the 88th minute. 

The victory snapped a three-game losing streak. 

"The guys really rebounded and responded from a low part of the season in the last week and a half and played with a lot of pride," Pacific head coach Brandon Porter said. "It's been a tough couple of weeks, so for them to play with that amount of pride and passion was very encouraging. They earned every bit of that game." 

"As a group, they committed to tackling. They were willing to sacrifice. It was a good group effort."

Pacific goalkeeper Zach Aderinto recorded six saves in the win. 

The Boxers close the regular season Sunday at home against Willamette at 1:30 p.m. 

"I want to see them carry over that passion against a team they've had trouble with in the past," Porter.
