Just over 25 minutes later, Kinnes would knot the game at 1-1 with his second penalty kick score of the season following a Beacon foul in the box.

The score would remain tied until the 60th minute when Corban was whistle for a foul in the box therefore awarding the host Beacons a penalty kick. NCU's Denton Brown would step up to the circle and score his fourth goal of the year against the Warriors and second game-winner in as many games versus Corban.

Over the final 30 minutes, Corban would have numerous opportunities collecting four more shots (10-6) than Northwest Christian with neither chance finding the back of the net.

Freshman goalkeeper James Myrvold (Sandy, Ore.) registered four saves for Corban, while NCU's Nick Kratzke snagged a game-high eight saves en route to picking up the win.

The Warriors will return to action on Friday, October 22nd, against the Eagles of Northwest in a game scheduled to kick off at 3:00 p.m. on Warrior Field.
