Box Score PENSACOLA, Fla. – Senior forward
Marteinn Urbancic posted the first multi-goal game of his career to push the University of West Florida men's soccer team to a 2-0 victory over the Union University Bulldogs in UWF's Gulf South Conference opener.
With the win, the Argonauts break into the win column and stand at 1-3 on the season. The setback for Union snaps a two-game winning streak for the Bulldogs and has UU at 2-4 on the year.
UWF wasted little time in gaining a lead, as
Chandler Castleman drew a foul inside the box to set up a penalty kick allowing for Urbancic's first goal 7:09 into the game.
Urbancic tallied a goal the old fashioned way 12 minutes into the second half, after securing a long pass from
Allan Kuhne and beating UU goalkeeper Pedro Haniel on a one-on-one situation.
Kuhne recorded his second assist of the season on Urbancic's second goal. With a two-goal performance, Urbancic becomes the first UWF player to record a multi-goal game in 2016.
The backline of
Owen Munro,
Barrett Mills,
Japhet Bitsindou,
Shawn Sanon and Kuhne prevented any chance at Union putting one in the net, as the Argonauts allowed just one shot on goal in the contest.
Freshman keeper
Phil D'Amico notched his first career win and recorded one save in the process.
UWF and UU were even in corner kick opportunities at 3-3. West Florida posted 11 shots, with four on goal, in comparison to Union's five shots with only one on target.
West Florida looks to make it back-to-back wins to open GSC play when it hosts Christian Brothers on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.
