Stars Maintain Perfect Record

The Dominican University Stars men’s soccer team remained perfect on the 2003 season with two wins this week, moving its overall record to 6-0.

The Stars opened the week on Wednesday night, traveling to Wheaton College, ranked 19th in the nation entering the game. The Stars stunned the Thunder, with the game’s first two goals en route to the 2-1 victory.

Senior Felipe Samaniego (River Grove/James Williams) gave the Stars an early 1-0 lead in the game’s 20th minute of play as he beat Wheaton’s goalie to the bottom left corner of the goal on a penalty kick. Samaniego’s penalty kick was set up when junior Erik Elizondo (Cicero/Morton East) was taken down by a Thunder defenseman in the box.

Elizondo scored a goal of his own in the second half to give the Stars the 2-0 advantage. Junior goalie Jonathan Maendel (Evanston/Evanston Township) carried a shutout into the 89th minute of play, surrendering a goal with just over one second left to play. Maendel recorded four saves in 90 minutes of play.

The Stars pushed its winning streak to six games on Saturday afternoon with a 5-0 win over University of Wisconsin-Superior at home. Junior Steve Lodes (St. Louis, Mo./Rosary) gave the Stars a 1-0 lead on his first goal of the game and the Stars never looked back.

The Stars return to action on Tuesday, when they travel to Concordia University (WI) and then return home to host Clarke College for the Northern Illinois-Iowa Conference opener on Saturday, September 20, at 3:30 p.m.
