12/08/09 Final game of Fall ends 4-4 after a dramatic comeback almost saw the Wolves steal 3 points from OSU
WOU traveled to Corvallis with nothing to lose. With 1 point out of the last 6 games, the Wolves had their backs to the wall. The two teams had a fairly balanced first half, which saw OSU create more opportunties and hold the advantage at 2-1. The opening munites of the second half saw OSU quickly jump to a 4-1 lead, as the Wolves looked to stay true to recent form. However, the Wolves were not finished. Over the last 20 minutes the Wolves pressed hard. First, midfielder Christopher Cramer curled a 20 yd shot past the OSU keeper to begin the revival. A few minutes later midfielder Javier Pineda hit a half volley from 25 yds out that dipped just under the bar. The Wolves looked like a team inspired when Cramer's corner kick was fumbled by the advancing keeper only to be nodded home by Pineda. In the closing mintues the Wolves almost let the game go as OSU looked for a winner, and then nearly found a winner themselves as a easy tap in was missed and 2 other chances found the cross bar.
11/27/09 North Division finishes Fall schedule, begins winter break. South Division will wrap up next weekend.

11/08/09 Battle for lead in North ends scoreless
A win for Lewis and Clark could have put them even with UPFC at the top of the table, with a game in hand, and put their fate in the their own hands. Instead, the two teams battled to a scoreless draw at the University of Portland campus. UPFC maintains their 3 point lead but Lewis and Clark still has a game in hand going into the winter break. Both teams will need to be wary of a strong PSU team that will surely factor into the equation come spring.

10/31/09 Reed scores 3, holds Mt. Angel
Coming off a three-week layoff because of fall break, Reed FC got out of the gates early with two goals in the first 17 minutes, then held off a persistent Mt. Angel counterattack strategy to notch a 3-0 victory in the Halloween day match at the seminary in Mt. Angel.
Javed Parkes of Reed scored twice in the game, and Dean Wenstrand added the other goal for the men in maroon. Reed FC had several excellent chances to add to the score throughout the first and second halves, but instead saw several shots glance off the crossbar or narrowly miss the net from close range. Mt. Angel, to its credit, played to its strength by sending long balls from the back toward the Reed goal. But a steady Reed defensive line was able to defuse the strategy by winning most challenges in the air and keeping the fast Mt. Angel strikers at bay. A goal by Parkes in the 90th minute, his second, put the game away for the visitors.
Up North, Portland State hosted UPFC. After a scoreless first half both teams found the back of the net but neither could find a winner as the match ended 1-1.

10/10/09 COCC outlasts Wolves' late surge to win 3-2.
COCC came out the aggressor, playing a physical match and doing a good job of preventing Western from developing any sort of rhythm for long stretches. COCC was able to take the first half lead when #1 was given too much time and space from 25 yds out and put his shot in the back of the net. Westen rued missed opportunities such as a header off a corner kick in the 45th minute that ended up wide of the post. Western possessed the ball much of the second half but COCC was able to get two more goals against the run of play, #1 converting another long range effort. It wasn't until the 80th minute, when COCC brought in a back-up keeper, that Western was able to capatilize on their chances. A 30 yd strike from Matt Bakken (#10) found the back of the net first. A few minutes later Javier Pineda (#20) headed home. COCC brought back in the first choice keeper and defended intensely for the final few minutes as WOU failed to convert 2 more chances on wide open goals.

Trailing 2-1 in the 80th minute WOU looked resigned to a loss as SOU comfortably controlled possession.

Then in the 88th minute midfielder Cesar Antunez (#3) shook off two defenders to slot home another goal for the Wolves. Unfortunately for Western, possession remained in favor of SOU and the Raiders were able to tie the game in stoppage time with a blast from just outside the area.

09/26/09 Reed FC survives mishaps, beats Mt. Angel 3-2.
The weather was sunny and warm for the match between Reed College and Mt. Angel Seminary at the Steele Street pitch in southeast Portland.
Throughout the first half, Reed FC dominated the play but was unable to score despite several excellent chances. Mt. Angel played a waiting game, springing counterattacks when the opportunities presented themselves. Mt. Angel were finally rewarded in the 28th minute when the Reed keeper mishandled a cross and saw the ball slip out of his hands and into the goal. Finding themselves down 1-0 despite controlling the play, Reed now had to push to get the equalizer before half. A handball on the goal line provided Reed what they needed - a penalty kick by Madison Stewart to tie the score 1-1 in the 40th minute. In the second half, Reed jumped ahead on a powerful header by forward Kent Schultz off a corner kick in the 50th minute. Moments later, Reed extended their lead to 3-1 with a skillful solo effort by Madison Stewart from the right side. The comfort of a two-goal lead was shattered by the awarding of a penalty kick to Mt. Angel in the 80th minute on a tackle from behind, but Reed held on over the last 10 minutes to take the 3-2 victory.
