October 31, 2007Seasiders Fall to Defending Champs
Laie, HI—The Brigham Young University Hawaii men’s soccer team lost to conference leader Grand Canyon, 2-0, today in Pacific West Conference action on the BYU–Hawaii soccer field. The Seasiders, now 9-9 for the season and 5-4 in the PacWest put up a good fight against the conference defending champions but came up just short as Grand Canyon improved to 11-4-4 for the season and 8-0-1 in the conference. Grand Canyon scored the first goal of the game on a rocket-shot kick from straight on off the foot of Daniel Sabillon in the 22nd minute. Sabillon’s blasted a bouncing ball that ricocheted off the crossbar over the outstretched arms of Seasider goalie Doug Hansen and into the net. The score remained 1-0 until the 84th minute when Albert Escovar dribbled through a pair of Seasider defenders and beat Hansen one-on-one to produce the final score. Hansen made eight saves in the match for BYU–Hawaii. BYU–Hawaii will face Notre Dame de Namur on Friday at 1:00 pm HST in Laie in another PacWest matchup that will be the final match of the season for the Seasiders.
