#2 Trinity Finishes Regular Season With Win Over UC-Santa Cruz

Box Score

San Antonio - The second-ranked Tiger men's soccer team scored two late goals to earn a 2-0 shutout victory over the University of California-Santa Cruz on Sunday night, finishing off the team's regular season schedule.

Trinity wraps up the regular season with a 19-1-0 overall record, winning its 16th consecutive game. The Tigers also finished with an unblemished 11-0-0 mark on their home field.  Santa Cruz falls to 11-6-1 with the loss.

Victor Araujo notched the eventual game-winner by successfully converting a penalty kick in the 76th minute.  Kellen Reid clinched the win by scoring a goal with just 45 seconds left on the clock, on an assist from Johnny Lawson. Those proved to be the only shots on goal for Trinity.

Araujo scored his eighth goal of the season, and third game-winner, while Lawson chalked up his eighth assist of the campaign.

Goalkeeper Matt Cardone guarded the net for the full 90 minutes of the game, which was physical and often combative. Cardone accounted for three saves, as Trinity registered its fourth straight shutout and 12th overall.

In addition to Araujo, Lawson, and Cardone, nine other seniors were honored prior to the game: Claudio Calistri, Roberto Camargo, Nico Estrada, Ben Kerley, Ryan Lord, Connor McKeon, Omar Sanchez, Chris Schluter, and Siom Uribe.

Trinity earlier won the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference regular-season championship and the top-seeded slot in the SCAC Tournament. The Tigers received a bye into the semifinals, which will be played at 11:00 a.m.Saturday at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas. The championship game is slated for 1:00 p.m. Sunday, also at TLU. The winner will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
