Joliet, Ill. – Redshirt senior forward Jaedan Aguilera (Belvidere, Ill./Belvidere North) scored his third game-winning goal in the last four matches and junior midfielder Mark Vitaliy Hul (Ternopil, Ukraine/Moraine Valley/TSSH No. 29) recorded a goal in his second straight match to help lead Saint Xavier University men's soccer (11-3-2, 6-1-1 CCAC) to a 2-0 triumph over University of St. Francis (Ill.) in a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) contest Wednesday evening at Joliet Memorial Stadium in Joliet, Ill. Aguilera finished with a season-high seven shot attempts along with three shots on goal in 75 minutes. Hul added three shot attempts in 67 minutes on the pitch. Redshirt junior goalkeeper Daniel Martinez (Cicero, Ill./Morton East) logged two saves to earn his seventh shutout of the season, and he improved his record to 9-2-2 in net. Overall, the Cougars outshot the Fighting Saints by a 26-8 margin.
