Box Score BURNABY, B.C.--No. 7 regionally ranked Simon Fraser scored on a penalty kick moments into the match and then again midway through the second half to hold off visiting Western Oregon, 2-0 at SFU Stadium at Terry Fox Field.

The Red Leafs improved to 8-3-2 on the year and to 6-2-1 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference to remain in third place. Western Oregon is now 2-7-4 in 2026 and are now 1-5-3 in conference play.

The home team got the early goal on a penalty kick (8:34), but that's all they would put on the scoreboard in the first half. The Red Leafs had a shot advantage after 45 minutes of 13-6, but only 3-2 on goal.

In the second half, the defensive battle continued until Simon Fraser broke through with a big insurance goal at 70:45. Other than that, SFU had only one other shot on goal after the break, while Western Oregon had three. 

The final stat tally showed the Red Leafs with a 24-10 shot advantage but shots on goal were even at 5-5. 

Western Oregon will continue their northern road trip with a Saturday clash at Western Washington. Start time is 2 pm.
