The 15th-ranked Pirates improved to 3-0, while CLU - the defending co-champions of the SCIAC - fell to 2-1. Barnhill (Sr., F, Sultan, Wash.) got the Pirates on the board first when he scored in the third minute off of assists from Cameron Bushey (Fr., MF, Spokane, Wash.) and Dion Coxe (Fr., D, Eugene, Ore.). Barnhill then scored the Bucs' final goal, in the 58th minute, from an assist by Chris Stibich (So., D, Marin, Calif.). In between Elly Bulega (Jr., F, Tacoma, Wash.) had a goal and an assist. Whitworth also got goals from Travis Gutierrez (So., MF, Port Orchard, Wash.), John Prugh (Sr., F, Bozeman, Mont.) and Taylor Willi (Fr., MF, Grants Pass, Ore.). Barnhill's goals give him a team-high four for the season, while Bulega now has three this year. Brian Sherpe (Fr., GK, Centennial, Colo.) played the first half in goal and made one save for the Bucs. Whitworth will complete its trip to Santa Cruz with a game against UCSC on Monday at 11:00 am.
