PORTLAND - Rigo Rivas gave Concordia an early lead, but Corban answered with two goals in an eight minute span of the first half and added another with two seconds left for a 3-1 Cascade Collegiate

Conference victory over the Cavaliers Thursday afternoon.

Rivas converted a crossing pass from Joe Givens into a goal at 5:20 of the first half.

Corban tied the score a few minutes later. Concordia was called for a foul just outside the goalie box and Andrew Brown's shot managed to get past the Cavalier wall and goalkeeper Garrett Staples for the goal.

Joshua Crain put the Warriors in front 2-1 at the 16:48 mark, assisted by Caleb Louvier.

After Corban's second goal, the Cavaliers had five shots on goal -- all in the second half. Warrior goalkeeper Aaron Franklin made the save on all five attempts to preserve the lead.

The Warriors scored their final goal with two seconds left in the game.

Louvier took a free kick from the right side. His shot hit the left post and bounced into the net for the goal.
