The Dominican University men's soccer team took to the field for their first taste of outside competition of the 2015 season on Friday afternoon, topping the Illinois Wesleyan University Titans 2-0 on West Campus Field. Sophomore
Jonathan Arzeta (Des Plaines, Ill.) tallied both goals for the Stars in the winning effort while goalkeepers
Gabriel Gongora (Naperville, Ill.) and
Wesley Zank (Sun Prairie, Wis.) combined for the shutout.
""It was good to play against outside competition just three days into our preseason," commented
Erick Baumann who is in his 21st season as the head men's soccer coach at Dominican University. "We played 23 guys and can take a lot away from this as we continue to train and work to improve before our first match."
The Stars will return to the West Campus pitch on Sunday, hosting the Moraine Valley Cyclones for a noon kickoff as the 2015 preseason continues.
