LAST TIME OUT

Humboldt enters the week with a 1-2-1 record after playing Northwest Nazarene and Jessup.

The Lumberjacks battled Northwest Nazarene to a 2-2 draw Thursday in Atherton. After falling behind twice, Humboldt answered with second-half goals from Shota Lam and Dominik Chipp. Lam scored on a free kick in the 54th minute before Chipp found the equalizer off an assist from Jai Sternhall in the 85th minute.

Humboldt controlled much of the attack against the Nighthawks, finishing with a 20-11 advantage in shots and placing 10 attempts on target.

The Lumberjacks then fell 2-1 at Jessup on Saturday. After the Warriors scored on each side of halftime, Chipp cut the deficit in half with his second goal in as many matches. De Jon Watson assisted the goal in the 65th minute.

Humboldt outshot Jessup 14-8, including a 10-4 advantage in the second half, but was unable to complete the comeback.

WRESTLING WITH THE WOLVES

Humboldt will open the trip Thursday at noon against Western Oregon.

The Wolves enter the week with a 1-1-2 record after playing four matches away from home. Western Oregon opened the season with a 3-2 victory over MSU Denver before drawing Westminster 3-3. The Wolves then fell 2-1 to Cal Poly Pomona and played Cal State Dominguez Hills to a 2-2 draw.
