Junior Matt Kochanowski (Arlington Heights, IL) added an insurance goal for the Stars in the 71 ^st minute. The goal was Kochanowski’s team-leading 11 ^th goal of the season; the 5’10” forward has logged at least one point in each of the Stars’ last nine games.

Junior goalkeeper Piotr Sliwa (Chicago, IL) picked up the win in goal for the Stars, recording two saves to pick up his fifth shutout of the season. As a team, the Stars, five games into Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) play, have not been scored upon in NAC play yet this season and have posted a string of six consecutive shutouts overall.

 

Earlier in the week, Dominican posted a 3-0 win over Benedictine University in conference action. Rowley again tallied what proved to be the game-winning goal before the Stars’ Nick Kowalski (Niles, IL) and Edwin Rodriguez (Chicago, IL) scored insurance goals for Dominican in the final 10 minutes of play.

Dominican now stands at 9-2 on the season and are a perfect 5-0-0 in NAC play. On Wednesday, they will host NAC rival Aurora University for a 4:00 p.m. game at Dominican’s West Campus Field. The Stars will then host Concordia University (WI) on Saturday for a 1:00 p.m. game.
