Penguins erupt for five goals vs. Hawai'i Hilo

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — The Dominican University of California men's soccer team broke out for its first win of the season with a 5-0 victory over Hawai'i Hilo
in the two teams' PacWest opener on Thursday.

Both teams fired seven shots but it was Dominican (1-5-0/1-0-0 PacWest) which was the more efficient team with six of those shots on goal and five finding the back of the net.  Hawai'i Hilo (/0-1-0 PacWest) placed five shots on goal.

Dominican wasted no time with Luke Raley's first collegiate goal coming from the left side in the second minute of the match. That set the tone early and Matt Case doubled the lead with an unassisted goal in the 12th minute. Case assisted Austen McGregor in the 31st minute on a header to the bottom left of the net that built the lead to 3-0 before halftime.

Raley addd his second goal of the day in the 58th minute from 10 yards past the midfield after he intercepted the Vulcans free kick and caught backup goalkeeper Cassidy Dixon too far out of the net to recover. Chase Whitfield neted a goal in the 75th minute to cap the Penguins' scoring outburst.

Oscar O'Con made five saves to earn the shutout for the Penguins.
