PENDLETON, Ore. (UJ) — The University of Jamestown men’s soccer team began its weekend Oregon road trip with a 3-0 loss to Oregon Tech Friday afternoon. 

The match was originally scheduled to be played in La Grande, Ore., but air quality issues pushed the start time back an hour and moved the location to Pendleton.

In the 13th minute, UJ’s Jacob Holtz (JR/Bismarck, N.D.) hit the post, and the carom played right to Austin Shafer (SR/Jamestown, N.D.), but his shot attempt went wide of the goal. Two minutes later, Oregon Tech’s Hunter Hoogerwerf had a shot attempt hit the post, then his follow-up try was blocked 

DeShone Myles finally broke the deadlock with a 43rd minute goal assisted by Ryan Pearson to give the Owls the lead going into the break. 

John Sarna made it 2-0 in the 53rd, but the Jimmies kept pressing offensively. Wade McWhorter (FR/Loveland, Colo.) came on as a substitute in the 66th minute, and less than 45 seconds late, nearly put UJ on the board, but unfortunately hit the post.

Andrew Pasang added a 71st minute insurance goal to round out the scoring for the Owls. Jamestown had a pair of shots go over the crossbar in the final minutes but were unable to find the net.

Shots were 15-11 in favor of Oregon Tech, as were shots on target (5-1). Jort Rujissenaars had a pair of saves in his collegiate debut.

The Jimmies (1-2-0) return to action Sunday against College of Idaho. Match time is 6:30 p.m.
