Having a free kick in prime position, senior

Marteinn Urbancic (Reykjavik, Iceland/Commercial College of Iceland) in the 19
th minute. West Florida would head into the halftime break leading 1-0, but added some insurance with freshman
Stephen Enderlin's (Little Rock, Ark./Catholic High School for Boys) first collegiate goal in the 61
st minute. Sophomore
Tristan Rehrig (Oviedo, Fla./Oviedo HS) set up Enderlin as Rehrig ran down the left side and crossed it in front of the Crimson Storm net, giving Enderlin the chance to put it away.
Starting defenders in Yuhaschek, freshman
Michael Starkey (Huddersfield, England/Newsome HS), junior
Japhet Bitsindou (Fontenay sous bois, France/Ecole des Merlus), and senior
Andrew Bruce (Orlando, Fla./Dr. Phillips HS) played an integral role in keeping Southern Nazarene off the scoreboard and only allowing six shots in the game. Southern Nazarene sent two shots on net, with both being stopped by sophomore
Jacob Murray (West Palm Beach, Fla./Seminole Ridge HS) who earned his first win in net as a member of the Argonauts soccer program. UWF defenders were also able to keep the pressure on the Southern Nazarene forwards in the second half, as the Crimson Storm failed to get off a shot in the last 45 minutes.
