BELLINGHAM, WA — Bellingham United FC are starting to rack up home victories to go with their stellar away form. The result is first place in the Pacific Coast Soccer League.

Oscar Jimenez was the engine that made the Hammers go against VUFC.

Jimenez got one of those just-before-the-break goals that deflates an opponent. He raced on a full sprint and put a ball from Chris Jepson into the Victoria goal in the 45th minute.

In the second half Jimenez played the role of provider as Kellan Brown doubled the BUFC advantage to 2:0 in the 61st minute. Brown leads the PCSL with a dozen goals.

Victoria was reduced to ten men on a red card ejection in the 79th minute. They kept battling though, and actually pulled one back in the 87th.
