SPOKANE — Patrick Jaxon scored on an assist by Mitch LaVielle with 45 seconds remaining to give Pullman a 3-2 season-opening 2A Greater Spokane League boys’ soccer win against North Central on Tuesday.
A strong shot by Jaxon narrowly missed, but Jaxon slipped it home on his second try as the Greyhounds capped a rally from a 2-1 deficit.
Aiden Crossler exploited the wind to score on a corner kick and tie the score in the 60th minute of Pullman’s first match in 709 days.
In the first half, goalkeeper Max Wolsborn guessed correctly to stop a penalty kick.
