Men's soccer gets key road win to stay in 1st

10/9/2024 9:06:00 PM

Box Score Trent Rickard scored two goals and Adiel Kaduya netted his second of the season as The Master's men's soccer team knocked off Embry-Riddle 3-1 Wednesday in Prescott, Ariz.

Kaduya scored his goal, with an assist from Tyler Mora, in the 33rd minute of the first half to help the Mustangs take a 1-0 lead into the locker room.

Rickard, the reigning GSAC Player of the Week, scored his first just 7:19 into the second half, with his second, off an assist from Caden Zierenberg, coming in the 76th minute of the match.

The win keeps The Master's (5-4-2, 5-0-2) firmly in first place in the GSAC standings.

"Really good win," said TMU Head Coach Jim Rickard. "I told the guys after the game that it was like a playoff game. They (ERAU) were pounding the ball like crazy, and so the only way to deal with that kind of intensity is to score."

Both teams finished with 13 shots, but it was TMU that had seven shots on goal compared to the Eagles four.

Julian Graham, named the GSAC Defensive Player of the Week Monday for the second time this season, had three saves.

The Master's will stay on the road Saturday as they play Life Pacific at Citrus College in Glendora, Calif. Game time is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
