Tyler Hagen’s shot at the 73:25 mark just missed as the ball would go just wide of the goal.

Corban dominated the shot column with 27 to Northwest’s 11. Joe Galbraith had a busy day in goal for NU as he was credited for 10 saves. Corban goalie, Steven Mason had 5 saves in goal for Corban.

Said Gary McIntosh, NU head coach, after the game, “The guys deserved this win as they had to work extremely hard for it. It was good to see them working for each other and playing quality soccer at the same time. I felt like our defense and keeper did a good job on the back line allowing the offense time to get us the goals needed to win.”

NU’s next game will be on the road in Klamath Falls against Oregon Tech.
