The unbeaten Xavier Musketeers (4-0-1) took the field
Sunday coming off a 3-1 road victory against IUPUI.
The Xavier men’s soccer team delivered a convincing 3-1 victory over IUPUI. Sophomore midfielder Gino De Paoli scored his first goal of the season in the first 10 minutes of the game. Junior midfielder Matt Walker struck two goals of his own in the 70th and 75th minute. Senior forward Luke Spencer
had another big game with two goals in a 3-1 victory over the
University of Milwaukee. Spencer’s first goal came in the 32nd minute, his fifth goal of the season. The men’s soccer team regrouped defensively after the goal and remained focused for the remainder of the half. Although the Musketeers did
not concede a goal immediately after scoring, they found themselves on their heels when Milwaukee’s Stuart McBain drilled a shot from the corner post. Xavier found itself in a similar position to break the tie. Like they’ve displayed all year, they found a way to pull away. Freshman Rhodes Moore set up the goal for Luke Spencer who sunk the ball in the back of the net in the 65th minute. Spencer notched an assist for sophomore midfielder Will Walker, who would chip in his second goal of the year. The win against Milwaukee capped off back-to-back three-goal performances for the Musketeers. Senior forward Luke Spencer leads the Atlantic 10 in goals with six
and is tied for most goals in the nation. Xavier looks to continue its hot streak as they take on the Virginia Cavaliers at 7 p.m. on Friday in Charlottesville, Va.
