The men’s soccer team turned their performance around, getting the win against Pacific University (3-6, 1-3) on Sunday after losing to George Fox University on Saturday.

Linfield (6-4, 2-2) turned up the aggressiveness to take the W, taking 21 shots during the course of the game. Nine of the shots were on goal.

Despite the aggressiveness, the game’s only goal didn’t come until the 86th minute. It came from midfielder Brian DeGrandmont, ’17.

It was DeGrandmont’s second goal of the weekend, also scoring one on Saturday against George Fox. It also gives him four goals on the season.

Goalkeeper Jorge Rodriguez, ’16, had a beautiful diving save late in the first period of play to keep the Boxers from taking the lead.

Despite the friendly weather, neither teams were feeling particularly friendly, both recording 18 fouls throughout the match.
