Men's Soccer Bounces Back, Tops UPS

TACOMA, Wash. - The Whitman College men's soccer team scored early in each half to earn a much needed 2-1 victory over the University of Puget Sound in Northwest Conference action, Sunday afternoon at Baker Stadium.
 
The win was a welcomed result for the Blues (6-

2, 2-2 NWC) who had been held goalless in two league losses in the previous two games. The win also pulls Whitman to an even mark in conference play.
 
Colby Ramsey earned the start in net for the Blues with Lucas Haigh subbed in at halftime.
 
Oliver Dickson scored the game's opening goal in the sixth minute, finishing past UPS (3-4-1, 2-1-1 NWC) keeper Andrew Matheny. Whitman was held in check for the remainder of the half but took a two goal lead shortly after halftime. Oscar Harding scored in the 50th minute for his fourth goal of the season to put his team up 2-0.
 
UPS converted a penalty kick to make it one-goal game with under seven minutes to play, but the Blues held on for the victory.
 
Whitman is back on the pitch next weekend, hosting George Fox on Saturday, Oct. 2 at 2:30 p.m.
