PORTLAND, Ore. - Mario Guizar scored two second half goals to help complete a comeback victory for Warner Pacific over Northwest Christian, 3-1, today in Portland. The Basics• Score: Warner Pacific 3, Northwest Christian 1• Records: WPC (8-5-1, 7-3-1 CCC), NCU (3-11-1, 2-8 CCC)• Location: Damazo Field, Portland, Ore.• The Short Story: Warner Pacific had to use a late surge of goals to defeat an upset minded Northwest Christian team today in CCC action. The visiting Beacons enjoyed a 1-0 lead and man advantage, but conceded three scores in the final 20 minutes.How it Happened• NCU found the net first, scoring a goal in the 12th minute. Victor Irechukwu latched on to a deflected clearance and laced a shot from seven yards away that WP keeper Joe White couldn't reach.• The Beacons continued to frustrate the home team throughout the first period, and almost tacked on a second goal but Joey Garcia's effort glanced off the crossbar.• It went from bad to worse for Warner Pacific in the early stages of the second half, as Elijah Troutman was sent off after a late challenge and foul in the 62nd minute. • The color red must have woke the Knight offense, and particularly Guizar. The senior equalized the score with a curling shot from the left side at the 67:52 mark and Warner Pacific looked the more dangerous team. • Jack Andrade punched in the game winner in the 84th minute after a long free kick from White that was chested down by Vladan Valski.• Guizar added the insurance goal four minutes later, slipping a shot past NCU keeper John Castro who got his hand on the ball but could not keep it out.
