SALT LAE CITY – The Westminster men's soccer team dropped a 1-0 game to Fort Lewis on Sunday afternoon at Dumke Field in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play.
 
The game was scoreless at the half with Fort Lewis (5-5, 4-2 RMAC) taking an 8-2 edge in shots into the intermission. The score remained that way into the 74th minute when Robbie Young collected a failed Westminster (2-7, 1-5) clearance and fired a one-touch shot into the net for his first goal of the season.
 
Westminster had the game's first opportunity as Cristian Alfaro had a shot turned away in just the second minute. That would be the only shot on goal for the Griffins as they were outshot in the contest, 20-4.
 
Max Medley made seven saves to keep the Griffins within striking distance. His final stop came in the 88th minute as he denied a header from inside the six-yard box to keep the game at 1-1. Jaden Olsen would get a chance for the home side 90 seconds later that drifted over the crossbar.
 
Fort Lewis took 12 of their shots in the second half and they finished the game with an 8-0 advantage in corner kicks.
 
The Griffins will be back in action on Friday when they continue its three-game homestand with a 3 p.m. game against Colorado Christian. Tickets for the game are available by visiting WestminsterGriffins.com/tickets.
