Men's Soccer Looks To Complete Sweep At UNLV Nike Invitational
9/5/2010 10:22:14 AM | Men's Soccer
Las Vegas—Two days after rewriting the program's record books in a 5-0 win over Alabama A&M, the Highlanders look to complete a two-match sweep at the UNLV Nike Invitational as they take on Valparaiso on Monday at 10 am PT.
Alex Racca and Aaron Long each scored two goals in the win over A&M, while Arnie Sanchez was credited with three assists. All three players tied UC Riverside program records with their performances. The five goals scored by the team also tied a program high water mark, and the team's seven assists set a new standard.
The Crusaders picked up a 1-0 win over the host Rebels Saturday afternoon. This is the first-ever meeting between the Highlanders and Crusaders
GAME NOTES
TAKING OFFENSE
The Highlanders scored 22 goals during the 2008 season but managed just 12 a year ago. The team returns its top four point scorers from 2009, however, and already has seven goals in two matches this season.
BETWEEN THE PIPES
Cody Suppé was the Highlanders primary keeper from a year ago posting a 1.79 goals against average in 13 matches. He returns for his sophomore campaign, and is joined by Alex Abelson and transfer Nick Goldreich. Goldreich has both starts between the pipes so far for UC Riverside.
CLOSE CALLS
The Highlanders lost nine games during the 2010 season by one goal.
