ST GEORGE, UT - For the fourth time in program history, Seattle U men's soccer claimed at least a share of the Western Athletic Conference Regular Season Title in their win over Utah Tech on Thursday. The Redhawks dominated thanks to braces from Yeider Zuluaga and Lennard Fock as they had their highest goal total of the season in the 7-1 victory.
Zuluaga's goals came within ten minutes of each other as he sent the Redhawks into the break with the lead. Lennard Fock would one up his fellow forward's performance in the second half scoring back-to-back goals in a span of just four minutes to double the SU advantage.
Seattle U would add three more off the feet of Rory King, Jackson Finn, and Jeremy Opong as they recorded their highest goal output since defeating Incarnate Word by the same score line in 2020. For King and Finn, it marked their first time scoring in a Redhawk uniform.
The defense nearly had another shutout, only allowing six shots all match from the Trailblazers, but the home side was able to break up the clean sheet in the 84'.
