SEATTLE - Seattle U men's soccer rode a hot offense to victory over Pacific, 5-2, Saturday night at Championship Field. Four different Redhawks scored as they picked up their first conference win of the season. 

In what has become a trend this season for the Redhawks, they took a lead just minutes into the match. This time it was Andre Philibbosian scoring off a Luke Hammond throw in at the 5' mark. It was the first goal of the season for Philibbosian and the first assist for Hammond in 2025.

The Tigers would bite back when they equalized in the 22nd minute, but the Redhawks would still take the lead into the break. 

Aidan Fong crossed a ball into the box in the 40th minute to find a flying Lars Thorne-Thomsen for the finish. For Thorne-Thomsen it was his third goal in six appearances on the season. 

After the break Seattle U would continue to pile on. Yeider Zuluaga continued his standout season with goal number six in the 50th minute. The Redhawks then added a fourth on an own-goal two minutes later, before Gavrilo Civric was the benefactor of a deflected ball in the 59th for his first goal in an SU uniform. 

The Tigers would get one back late on a converted penalty, but the Redhawks were able to put the match away and secure their first win as members of the West Coast Conference. 

Seattle U moved to 3-3-4 on the season and to 1-0-1 in conference play. They will look to string together victories when they travel to Santa Clara to play the Broncos on Friday, Oct. 10.
