Men's soccer gears up for tournament

The Dominican University men’s soccer team picked up a pair of victories over non-conference opponents last week in preparation for the postseason.

On Saturday, the Stars knocked off central region powerhouse University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh Titans 4-0. The Stars’ offense, ranked number one in the nation in Division III men’s soccer, exploded for four first half goals to completely demolish the Titans’ spirits.

Senior David Niederholtmeyer (Washington, MO), the nation’s leading scorer at 3.64 points per game, racked up two goals and an assist to lead the Stars, including the what proved to be the game-winner in the 18 th minute as he stole an errant kick by the goalie and had a breakaway with just the goalkeeper to beat. Freshmen Alex Rowley (Lake Zurich, IL) and Plamen Pamukov (Addison, IL) also added goals for the Stars.

Earlier in the week, the Stars defeated Benedictine University 6-0. In the game, Niederholtmeyer logged two goals and two assists while Pamukov, Matt Kochanowski (Arlington Heights, IL), Jose Miranda (Chicago, IL) and Dario Bolanos (Wheeling, IL) all scored for the Stars in the winning effort.

Freshman goalkeeper David Rodrigues (Waukegan, IL) logged a total of 180 minutes in goal for the Stars and recorded both shutout victories, his second and third shutouts of the season.

The Stars begin their quest for the Lake Michigan Conference (LMC) automatic bid to the NCAA Division III National Tournament this week as they host Marian College on Friday for a first round LMC Tournament match. The eight-team tournament will conclude on Friday, November 4, with the winner of the championship match receiving the conference’s automatic bid.

The Stars are currently 15-1 on the season and ranked 12 th in the nation and 2 nd in the region by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
