CHICAGO, Ill. - Falling behind on two goals in the first half, the Puget Sound Loggers couldn't complete the comeback attempt in an NCAA Division III men's soccer match, falling 2-1 to the North Park Vikings on Friday night in Chicago, Ill.

The Vikings took the lead in the 31st minute when Isaac Lee took a pass from Steve Hosch and powered a shot past Logger keeper Greg Saetrum (Boise, Idaho/Timberline).  Lee scored again in the 40th minute to give North Park the 2-0 lead going into half.

The Loggers turned up the offensive attack in the second half, outshooting the Vikings 10-7 in the final 45 minutes.  Chris Shaw (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho/Coeur d'Alene Charter) scored the Loggers only goal in the 85th minute.  The unassisted goal was the sophomore's first collegiate score.

Saetrum finished the game with four saves in net, allowing the two goals.  NPU's Joe Cindric had three saves, allowing the goal by Shaw.
