SPOKANE, Wash. – Freshman Andrew Shen scored the first goal of his Pacific career with less than eight minutes remaining Sunday, lifting the Boxers to a 2-1 Northwest Conference victory over Whitworth.
The Boxers improved to 3-5-7 overall and 3-3-7 in NWC play with their second win over the Pirates this season.
Pacific took the lead in the 21st minute when Afsheen Alijani scored his third goal of the season. Whitworth answered in the 30th minute and the teams remained tied through halftime and much of the second half before Shen delivered the deciding goal in the 83rd minute on an assist from Caden Matsumoto.
Pacific goalkeeper Kobi Miyamoto finished with two saves as the Boxers limited the Pirates to 10 shots, including just three on target. Pacific finished with a 12-10 advantage in shots and put six attempts on frame.
