Avila Defeats Culver Stockton 1-0

Canton, MO - In a workmanlike effort, the Avila men's soccer team picked up its first conference win of the season on Saturday (Oct. 10th) in Canton. Avila controlled the majority of the match and had many chances to put the game out of reach. Tom Wolf scored the lone goal of the match when he knocked in a goal off of a corner kick from Roberto Camacho. The Eagles improved to 4-8-1 and 1-2-1 in conference play while Culver fell to 1-8.

Avila outshot the Wildcats 23-10 overall and 12-3 on goal. Tom Wolf led the Eagles with six shots while Louis Haynes had five and Roberto Camacho with four.

Coach Clements was very pleased with the effort and focus today, "I thought we came out strong and did what we needed to do to win today. Although the goals did not come as we had hoped, we gave ourselves plenty of chances. We followed the game plan and came away with conference victory on the road which is never an easy task. Ray and our backs played another great game recording the shutout. I am proud of our kids and look forward to build upon on this as we start the final half the conference play."

The Eagles continue conference play on the road Saturday (Oct. 17) whey they travel to Graceland University. The match is set to start at 7PM in Lamoni, IA on the campus of Graceland.
