SANTEE, Calif. – In the first two games for the San Diego Christian Men’s Soccer team, they have outscored their opponents 8-0. That total grew by five as they defeated Cal Tech 5-0 on Saturday to improve to 3-0 on the season.

The Hawks registered 24 shots but couldn’t find the back of the net until the 36th minute into the game.

Joseph Fortini (JR/Santee, CA) streaked down the left side and passed it to a charging Borja Suarez (JR/Barcelona, Spain) who placed it to the left of the goalie for a 1-0 lead. A minute later, Alex Saliba (SR/Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) had a good look to make the score 2-0 but his shot went just wide of the target as SDC held a 1-0 lead at the break.

Matheus Arrieta (SR/Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) made the score 2-0 as he took a pass from Patrik Borchmann (SR/Germany) and buried the ball in the net. In the 65th minute, the Hawks received a gift from the Beavers as an own goal from Cal Tech made it 3-0.

Suarez showed off his talent as he took a pass from Jose Valencia (SO/San Diego, CA) and back-heeled the ball into the goal from 15 yards out.

Jonathan Eloysio (JR/Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) capped all scoring in the 89th minute with a well-driven ball just below the crossbar from the top of the box.

The Hawks didn’t allow a single shot from the Beavers. Ryan Huerta (SR) and Chandler Corzine (SR/Pine Grove, CA) held on to share the shutout.

SDC will be back on the field to take on La Sierra at home on Sept. 3 with kickoff starting at 2:30 p.m.
