The crucial Oct. 12 NACC conference Men’s soccer game ended in a draw against Aurora
University. This game was in doubt because of the huge rainfall that fell prior to the game. Fans
were skeptical if the game would play out, but luckily the clouds cleared up right in time for the 3
p.m. home game kickoff.

The Stars were without freshman, Oscar Cerritos as goalie but persisted in alternating between senior keepers Carlos Gomez and Victor Porada. Much of the game was played in the middle of the pitch with senior midfielders elders Juan Guzman and Nick Kowalczyk battling the opposition. The Stars really took it to Aurora in the second half with great build up plays that even saw freshman defender Carter Bass push up the field to add more to the attack.

The Stars had multiple saved shots on goal but unfortunately couldn’t get the ball to hit the back of the net. The intense game ended with a draw leading to the final score, 0-0.

The Stars will look to end the final stretch of regular season games in a strong fashion. Look to the Star’s schedule for future home games.
