Men's Soccer Knocks Off Defending WAC Champs

EDINBURG – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) men's soccer team knocked off defending Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Champion Utah Valley University (UVU) 3-0 on Sunday at the UTRGV Soccer and Track & Field Complex.
 
Senior Brownsville Hanna alum Carlos Acevedo recorded the first multi-goal match of his career, scoring the game-winning goal in the 50th minute when he headed a pass from sophomore Dimitris Strantzalis past Elliott Rubio (3-5-1).
 
Acevedo added some insurance 10 minutes later with a shot from the upper right hand corner of the box. Sophomores Juanito Ramirez and Arthur Rogers assisted on the second goal.
 
Then, in the 73rd minute, sophomore Ilias Kosmidis attempted a shot that was blocked by Rubio. Junior Isaiah Hinds fired the rebound into the back of the net to complete the scoring.
 
Sophomore Andy Rios (4-3-1) posted his third shutout of the season.
 
UTRGV (4-4-2, 1-2-1 WAC) outshot UVU (3-8-1, 0-3-1 WAC) 8-7, including 4-0 on goal.
 
UTRGV is back in action on Friday at 9 p.m. at reigning WAC Tournament Champion UNLV.
