Groessl Goal Gives UC Santa Cruz a 1-0 Victory

SAN ANTONIO, TX – The UC Santa Cruz men's soccer team ended their weekend in Texas with a 1-0 win against Texas Lutheran University. The only goal of the contest came from Soren Groessl in the 55th minute of play on a fast break assist from Kotetsu Horike. Groessl's score is the second of his senior season with the Banana Slugs with his first goal scored at Caltech on Sept. 6th, and the assist for Horike is his first recorded of the season. UC Santa Cruz was outshot in the opening half 4-5, but turned up the heat in the second half to end the game with a 14-9 advantage as each team totaled four shots on goal. Tobias Jacobson-Bell recorded his season high of four saves and earned his fourth shutout of the year in the win. Up next, UC Santa Cruz men's soccer will travel to St. Paul, MN to face Bethel University. Their matchup takes place Friday, October 2nd at 4:00pm CT, 2:00pm PT.
