SEATTLE - Seattle U men's soccer sent their seniors out in style as they took down Grand Canyon, 5-0, Sunday afternoon at Championship Field. Five different Redhawks combined to score a season-high five goals as they concluded the regular season with the dominant win. 

It was senior contribution in the first half that got Seattle U out to a quick 2-0 lead. Jeremy Opong scored the opener at the 10' mark off of an assist by Titus Washington, then Opong assisted a goal from Lennard Fock just over four minutes later. It was the fourth goal of the season for Opong and the third on the season for Fock. 

The Redhawks would tack on three more goals in the second half, starting with River Stewart's third of the season in the 60th minute. Alex Notzka would then score his first collegiate goal on a masterclass assist by Yeider Zuluaga. Finally, Richy Lapointe-Guevara, who assisted on Stewart's goal, got one of his own to put the game to rest in the 81st.
