The Portland Hearts of Pine pulled an upset on the road on Saturday night in the quarterfinal round of the USL One Men’s Professional Soccer Playoffs with a 1-0 victory over the Chattanooga Red Wolves at CHI Memorial Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The #7 seeded Hearts got a second half goal from Ollie Wright, and a spectacular performance in net from Hunter Morse to spring the upset over the #2 Red Wolves (15-6-10). Wright scored the game winner in the 55th minute on a give and go with Jake Keegan. Keegan laid the ball off to Wright who slotted a shot past the outstretched hands of Chattanooga goalie Ricardo Jerez into the bottom right corner of the net. Morse ended up with nine saves, as Portland (12-7-12) moves on to the semifinals in their inaugural season to take on either South Georgia Tormenta or Spokane Velocity next weekend.
