UD Men's Soccer Dominates Dallas Christian College UD

The UD Crusaders dominated the field today with a final score of 5-0. They started the game strong and held a 2-0 lead at halftime, before tacking on 3 more goals in the second half. The team remained strong and confident throughout the game with the help of several of their younger players.

Sophomore midfielder Michael Chapman (Madison, MS/St. Joseph Catholic School) got UD on the board around the ten minute mark, and UD never looked back. Chapman was assisted by senior co-captain and midfielder Aaron Tucker (North Richland Hills, TX/Birdville H.S.). The second goal of the first half was scored by freshman midfielder Paul Hull (Long Beach MS/St. Stanislaus H.S.), and the assist was credited to Chapman. With this strong lead, the team ended the first half even more determined to play better in the second half.

The first goal of the second frame was put in just under three minutes into the period by senior co-captain and midfielder Matt Stamper (Blue Springs, AZ/Bentonville H.S.). Junior forward/midfielder Phil Conley (Palatine, IL/Palatine H.S.) continued the scoring spree shortly after that with the help of junior midfielder/forward Ryan Meske (Niwot, CO/Niwot H.S.). UD’s final score was by senior forward Mike McIlhon (San Diego, CA/St. Augustine H.S.).

All three of UD’s keepers saw action in the game. Junior Paul Stauduhar (Longwood, FL/Lake Mary H.S.) started the game for UD, before being replaced by freshman Sean Stauduhar (Longwood, FL/Lake Mary H.S.), and then sophomore Chris Brisky (Hayes, TX/Jack C. Hays H.S.). Both Stauduhars recorded a save.

The next game for the 4-6-2 UD men’s soccer team is on Thursday, October 22 against Austin College at Crusader Field. The game starts at 4:00pm.
