FACES IN THE CROWD

Jason Dunn

James Dunn
OLYMPIA, WASH.

Jason and James, identical twin seniors, led Seattle Pacific University to the Division II soccer title. With the Falcons trailing Florida Tech 5-3 in the second OT of their semifinal, James, a defender, was moved into goal so that an extra attacker could be brought on. With 1:02 remaining, he and Jason, a forward and the third-leading scorer in Division II, assisted on a goal by Travis Connell to make the score 5-4. Sixty-one seconds later Jason scored the tying goal. In the scoreless third OT, James made four saves, and in the 13-round shootout to decide the game he had two more. The Falcons won 6-5 and went on to beat Southern Connecticut State 1-0 in the title game.
