SXU Men’s Soccer Falls to Governors State, 2-0, in CCAC Match

Crown Point, Ind. – Senior forward Jaedan Aguilera (Belvidere, Ill./Belvidere North) finished with a match-best and season-high nine shot attempts, along with five shots on goal, however the Saint Xavier University men's soccer team (3-8-4, 3-2-3 CCAC) came up short in a 2-0 setback to Governors State University (Ill.) in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) play Tuesday evening at the SportsPlex in Crown Point, Ind. GSU outshot SXU by a 20-14 margin. Aguilera tallied four of his nine shots in the first half. Despite the loss, the Cougars remain the No. 5 seed in the conference with 12 points, just two behind Olivet Nazarene University (Ill.) to potentially host a CCAC Tournament match in November.

  • A Governors State shot hit the goal post after corner kick in the 16th minute and Estrada made back-to-back saves in the 18th minute after a flurry of shot attempts from GSU.
  • Espinoza drew a card in the 28th minute inside the 18-yard box to set up a penalty kick, however his shot was saved.
