In the past six seasons, four individual Bruins have also been honored for their academic achievements. In 200, midfielder Merrick Brownlee was named to the NSCAA/adidas Collegiate Scholar All-America Second Team and the CoSIDANerizon Academic All America College Division Second Team. In 2005, defender Ryan McKenzie and goalkeeper Kyle Putnam were named to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VIII College Division First Team, while defender Brian Zaro received that same honor this past fall.

Dan Potter sent a cross from the right wing just outside the keeper's box to Erich Hangartner streaking in from the left, and Hangartner nailed a shot from 5 yards out into the right corner of the net for a -0 lead. It was Hangartner's second goal of the season and the fifth assist for Potter. nursed that lead until the waning stages of the game. With Puget Sound pushing everyone forward in an effort to tie the game, Logger keeper Pete Van Sant found himself 0 yards in front of the keeper's box with a loose ball he needed to clear. Bruin forward Matt Gurlides charged the keeper and blocked Van Sant's kick directly back toward the goal, then raced around him and sent an uncontested ball into the wide-open net for his eighth goal of the season, effectively icing the win. The Bruins end their season with an overall record and a 4-9- mark in the conference.

The Linfield defense did the rest, holding to 3 shots overall and five on goal in the game. The Wildcats had 23 shots, 0 on goal. Williams had four saves, Maguire six, along with two Bruin team saves.

Geoge Fox keeper Jake Maguire stopped the only shot on goal by the Boxers, which came from Danny Williams with six minutes left in the first half. With big 6'2" defender Keith Marshall shadowing Matt McDonough all game, the Bruins limited McDonough, the number two scorer in the conference with six goals and three assists, to only two shots all game, none on goal. The Bruins actually had their best chances to penetrate the goal line in the overtime periods, Shene stopping a line drive by Garrett Blizzard from five yards away in the first extra session and another by Erich Hangartner in the second overtime, and Blizzard put a potential winner just over the crossbar with two-and-a-half minutes left in the final stanza. With 0 seconds left in the contest, Pacific's Kyle Chown took a comer kick from the left corner that was headed away from the goal by the Bruins. The ball was recovered by Gurlides midway between the keeper's box and the mid-field line, and he turned and fired a shot three-quarters of the length of the field toward a net that was totally unprotected, Shene having moved up near midfield as the clock ran down. The ball bounced twice before rolling into the open net, but the clock had run out just before the ball crossed the line, and the goal was immediately waved off by the official.

The Bruins' final score of the opening half came as Hangartner raced down the left sideline and crossed to Tony Zamora in the center of the box for a goal at the 3:0 mark.

The Bruins cranked out nine shots, seven on goal, in the second half, and finally broke through at the 58:26 mark. Bruin forward Garrett Blizzard caught a cross from the left side at the top of the box and dribbled toward the right corner of the field with a man on him.

54 GEoRGE Fox UNIVERSITY SPORTS RELEASE: MEN'S SOCCER- Wednesday, August 30, 2006 Contact: Blair Cash, SID ( ) (Web) gfubruins.com (0) (H) (Fax) /30 - PREVIEW: Improved Depth Key to Bruins' Hopes for Unlocking Improvement in 2006 NEWBERG, Ore. -With a deeper and more talented roster than in the past few years, veteran University men's soccer coach Manfred Tschan has high hopes that the Bruins will show significant improvement in the upcoming 2006 season. "We were competitive in most of our games last year," notes Tschan, pointing to seven one-goal losses in a 2-5- season, "but our lack of depth hurt us when we had injuries to some key people and had to reshuffle things. For the first time in two or three years, however, we've got good competition at every position; even our returning starters are going to have to work hard to retain their spots, and that's good for the whole team." The Bruins return 3 of 6 letterwinners, including nine starters. One of the losses was top scorer Ben Eichenberger. who had four goals and one assist to lead a team that scored only 3 goals all season. "Our offense had the most room for improvement. and we should be able to create more danger for the opponents' defenses this time around," predicts Tschan. "In turn, that puts less pressure on our defense, which had to work extremely hard last year, and keeps the other team a lot more honest." Number two scorer Garrett Blizzard (So., Las Vegas, Nev. I Bonanza HS), who had three goals and two assists, returns at one forward position. He could be paired up front with his cousin, Matt Gurlides (Fr., Las Vegas, Nev. I Palo Verde HS), who transferred to last January from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. "Garrett and Matt have played together and know each other's moves, and they could create some exciting opportunities for us," says Tschan. Two newcomers who are also expected to see plenty of action at forward are Bret Hamilton (Fr., Medford, Ore. I South Medford HS) and Tony Zamora (San Salvador, El Salvador I Newberg HS). A quartet of returning players gives the Bruins plenty of experience at midfield. Dan Potter (Sr., Medford, Ore. I South Medford HS). a four-year starter, had one goal last year, while Greg Hoiland (Sr., West Linn, Ore./ West Linn HS) had one assist. Erich Hangartner (Jr., Central Point, Ore. I Crater HS), the team's number three scorer with two goals and two assists, can also play forward if needed. Joshua Smith (So., Central Point, Ore. I Crater HS) started as a freshman and had one assist. The Bruins' most versatile athlete, Ryan MacKenzie (Jr., Redmond, Ore. I Redmond HS), is also ticketed for midfield this year. As a freshman, he led the team in scoring at forward because that was where he was needed, although it was not his normal position, and last year he had one goal as a defender. "No question Ryan will be on the field somewhere," says Tschan, "playing wherever we need him." Three newcomers who will push hard for playing time at midfield are Brian Story (Fr., Graham, Wash./ Bethel HS), Dylan Durrell (Fr. Sherwood, Ore. I Sherwood HS), and Kyle Milnes (Fr., West Linn, Ore. I West Linn HS). On defense, Brian Zaro (Sr., Beaverton, Ore. I Westview HS) is the Bruins' mainstay. A fiery player, Zaro had one goal and one assist and earned Second Team All-Northwest Conference honors for his efforts in marking the other teams' best scorers. Joining him on the back line are returning starters Jon Maroni (Jr., Redmond, Ore. I Redmond HS), who scored one goal, and Matt Chang (Jr. Bend, Ore./ Mountain View HS), who had one assist. Joel Morgan (Fr., Portland, Ore. I De La Salle North Catholic HS), who was with the Bruins last year but received a medical hardship waiver from the NCAA after being injured in the pre-season, is back to challenge for a defender role. Tschan will also give a long look to newcomers Keith Marshall (Fr., Redmond, Ore. I Redmond HS), Rouge Community College transfer Bobby Divine (So., Grant Pass. Ore. I Grants Pass HS), Zach Sanders (Fr., Puyallup, Wash. I Emerald Ridge HS), and Kyle Story (Fr., Graham, Wash. I Bethel HS), Brian's twin brother. Caleb Martin (Fr., Dayton, Ore. I Amity HS) is another defender who is recovering from a stress fracture and may not be available until mid-season. Rangy goalkeeper Kyle Putnam (Jr. Bend, Ore. I Mountain View HS) had 72 saves despite missing five games in mid-season due to injury and was third in the NWC in saves per game (5.54). Rookie Jake Maguire (Fr. Aurora, Ore./ North Marion HS) is a big, strong goalie who has been impressive in the pre-season. "Jake has strengthened that position and I will be comfortable no matter who is in goal," says Tschan. The Bruins tied for seventh in the Northwest Conference in 2005 with a -2- league mark, and have been picked to finish eighth in pre-season balloting by the NWC coaches. Tschan smiles when he considers such predictions. "Most pre-season votes are based on last year," he points out, "and who really knows about this year? Some teams will be better, and some will not be as good, depending on who was lost and who was recruited. I think we'll be one of the improved teams, but what did the other teams do in the off-season? We'll see.
