TMU wins share of GSAC title with Soka win

Adiel Kaduya scored in the 70th minute and The Master's University men's soccer team kept Soka without a shot on goal in a 1-0 win Thursday night to secure a share of the GSAC regular season title.

The Mustangs improved to 11-4-3 overall and 10-2-1 in Golden State Athletic Conference play. Soka fell to 6-7-2 and 5-6-2 in the GSAC.

TMU outshot the Sea Lions 15-3 and had a 7-0 edge in shots on goal. The Mustangs also held a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks.

Kaduya had TMU's best chances in a scoreless first half. He sent a shot over the bar in the 13th minute, and Soka goalkeeper Jake Davis saved his attempt at 17:56. Davis also stopped a Hunter Phelps shot at 36:44 to keep the match level at halftime.

Enrico Dianese took over in goal for Soka after the break and kept the Mustangs out early in the second half. He saved shots from Andrew Sorto at 67:00 and Trent Rickard at 67:48. Kaduya finally broke through at 69:46 to put TMU ahead.

The Mustangs kept pushing for an insurance goal. Rickard had a shot blocked at 78:31, and Dianese turned away Kaduya and Rickard on back-to-back attempts at 81:27 and 81:34.

Kaduya led TMU with six shots, three of them on goal. Rickard had five shots, two on target. Sorto and Phelps each put their only shot on goal.

Franco Barba played all 90 minutes in goal for the shutout. Soka's three shots came from Bryce Lanton, Aidan Sandoval and Luca Aiello, and none of them reached the goal.

Dianese made four saves and Davis made two for Soka.

TMU now holds the number 2 seed in the GSAC tournament and will await the winner of the number 3 seed Park Gilbert versus the number 6 seed Soka.
