The Vikings had just nine shots to the Saints' 28, with just four of those on goal. Saint Martin's (3-2-1, 1-0 GNAC) had eight shots on goal, and its lone score of the game came from freshman Xander Koenig — a recent Squalicum alum — late in the match in the 87th minute.
Western (3-3-1, 0-1 GNAC) senior goalkeeper Brandon Locke had three saves on the night.
