The Dominican University men's soccer team broke a scoreless tie in the 81^st to top the Lakeland College Muskies 2-0 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on Saturday night.  The win pushes the Stars to 6-3-0 on the season and 3-1-0 in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC).
 
Dominican controlled possession throughout the night, dominating the stat sheet with 30 shots, including 17 on goal, while allowing just four shots, two on goal, to the host Muskies.
 
"It's a cruel game sometimes but credit to Lakeland—they stayed committed to their game plan and worked very, very hard and got a great performance from their goalkeeper. I also give our players a lot of credit for staying focused and competing as hard as they did to get that first goal. It took a while but it was a determined group tonight."
 
On the team's 11^th and final corner of the match, Dominican finally broke through when Alexander Lulek got on the end of Isaac Perez's service, heading home what proved to be the game-winning goal. Five minutes later the Stars knocked in an insurance tally when Denis Soldo gained the endline on the right side before centering pass for Nicolo Vitale who tapped in his fifth goal of the season.
 
Tyler Marfo picked up the win in goal, his first of the season, after taking over for Daniel Dominguez in the 28^th minute.  Marfo and Dominguez made one save apiece in the winning effort.
 
Lakeland's Tyson Carter made 15 saves, including stopping a penalty kick in the 43^rd minute that kept the match scoreless into the second half.
 
Dominican returns home on Wednesday, hosting the Benedictine University Eagles for a 4:00 p.m. kickoff at West Campus Field.
